The article offers a reflection on the potential methods of digital comparative analysis of poetical corpora. Two types of corpora are opposed: the closed ones, defined by some common poetical patterns shared by all poems, and the open ones, based exclusively on chronological or linguistic criteria, or the absence of a specific poetical constraint. Currently the TEI-encoding of the poems is the most frequent practice of description, but very uneven in the deepness of analysis. As an idealistic alternative the creation of a global, generative poetical set of poetical tools, like the «Queneleieff tables» of the Oulipo, is proposed; an early example of this approach is to be found in Guilhem Molinier’s 14th century poetical treatise, the Leys d’amors.
