Forgotten books: The application of unseen species models to the survival of culture
Mike Kestemont, Folgert Karsdorp, Elisabeth de Bruijn et al., 2022. Science.
Borrows unseen-species estimators from ecology to estimate how many medieval European narratives, such as Arthurian romances, have been lost, and finds that the evenness of a literary tradition affected how well it survived.
What it's used for here
The inductive methods survey adapts its Chao-type estimators to ask how much text is missing from each section, calibrated against leaves known to be lost from the quire numbering.
