New witnesses have been identified as follows:
- Searches: by title, author, incipit, keyword (i.e., Stammbaum Christi, Tableau généalogique) in individual catalogues and medieval manuscript platforms (manuscripta.at, handschriftenportal, e-codices, etc.)
- Searching in Historia scholastica mss
- References in literature
- References from colleagues
- noted in the Manuscript Description (msDesc) as an internal note whether the manuscript was "migriert von Piggin" (migrated from Piggin's list), and if not who located it and where the information was found
Teaser about the Data acquisition and the various levels of completeness - Only Metadata, Metadata + Images, Metadata + Text + Images
In the context of data acquisition, 3 levels of acquisition can be identified.
In a first step, a metadata list was created based on Piggin's list (link) and expanded to include text-specific [e.g textversion] and art history-specific categories [e.g. diagram occurance]. Soon the project moved to metadata acquisition with the help of a customised Oxygen Framework (see link). In order to not loose any progress with the switch, the already gathered data was moved from the spreadsheet and transformed via TEIGarage (Link) and XSLT (link) to TEI, where the information is stored in a comprehensive Manuscript Description (msDesc). The framework was built on an questionnaire established by Team Tübingen and also incorporated various indices (see link) as well as the superstructure ids (see link) established in the course of the project to ensure consistent and uniform data. With the switch to working with the framework, a git workflow was also introduced, so that everyone involved can always work on the latest data and a version history is available.
- Google Sheets
- TEIGarage & XSLT
- Oxygen Framework
- Git / Github
Based on [##@ELEANOR HALP <3], which was established through an art-historical lense, the Compendium was classified in 6 different graph-versions (see also here). For this graph versions, 14 prototypical manuscripts were chosen. This decision was based on [##ELEANOR HALP <3].. Those manuscript were then processed with CADMUS (see here), and around all items of interest (e.g. Nodes, Texts, Diagrams, Pictures, Groups - see also superstructure) zones were drawn and the zones identified with the respective superstructure id. After all the zones were drawn, the data was exported as TEI and merged with the respective metadata, gathered in the step before. The drawn zones were exported as jpg and [.... ABLAUF FÜR DEN GAMS IIIF?... @Roman HALP].
This way it is possible, to use the manuscript snippets along different subpages of the Edition and ensure suficient interlinking between TEI data and image data.
- Cadmus
- XSLT
[##AGNESE .. HALP <3]
One of the most crucial tasks, was to standardise dates, especially since date annotation differs widely. For this reason certain rules have been implemented and the decision was made to note down the dates in two forms: literal date fields and index date fields:
Rules for literal date fields:
1. If there is an online catalogue (i.e., manuscripta.at for Austria, archivesetmanuscrits.bnf.fr for France, manuscripta-mediaevalia.de for Germany):
- one date --> the date is copy and pasted exactly as it appears on the web page
- multiple dates for different parts of the manuscript --> ''only'' the date for the folios containing the compendium is taken
- multiple unspecified dates --> all dates are recorded
2. If there is no online catalogue:
- date is copied from the most recent printed catalogue
3. If there is no catalogue available
- date comes from other literature --> author of the source is indicated in square brackets [ ], e.g.
XIII century first third [Moore]. The full title of the source appears in the notes.
4. If there is no other source
- Piggin is the last resort --> date is copied from his website and indicated it with
[Piggin]
5. If the date is clearly wrong or too vague:
- date is given based on the project teams assessment and indicated with the Initials of the resp. person in brackets
Rules for Index date fields:
In this field a regularised/normalised values in the form [yyyy] or [yyyy-yyyy] is given. The rules of transformation are
1. Quarters
- First quarter of the 13th century; 1. Viertel 13. Jahrhundert; 13. Jh.¹ = 1200-1224
- Second quarter of the 13th century; 2. Viertel 13. Jahrhundert; 13. Jh.² = 1225-1249
- Third quarter of the 13th century; 3. Viertel 13. Jahrhundert; 13. Jh.³ = 1250-1274
- Fourth quarter of the 13th century; 4. Viertel 13. Jahrhundert; 13. Jh.⁴ = 1275-1299
2. Halfs
- First half of the thirteenth century; 1. Hälfte 13. Jahrhundert = 1200-1249
- Second half of the 13th century; 2. Hälfte 13. Jahrhundert = 1250-1299
3. Thirds
- First third of the 13th century; 1. Drittel 13. Jh. = 1200-1233
- Second third of the 13th century; 2. Drittel 13. Jh. = 1234-1266
- Last third of the 13th century; 3. Drittel 13. Jh. = 1267-1299
4. Beginning / End
- Beginning of the 13th century; Anfang 13. Jahrhundert; début XIIIe; s. xiii in. = 1200-1224
- End of the thirteenth century; Ende 13. Jahrhundert; fin XIIIe; s. xiii ex. = 1275-1299
5. Middle
- Middle of the thirteenth century; Mitte 13. Jahrhundert = 1225-1274
6. Approximate Dates
- um 1300 = 1290-1309
- c. 1300 = 1290-1309
- ca. 1300 = 1290-1309
- um 1350 = 1340-1359
Place of origin information
The place of origin comes from the following sources
1. A readily available online catalogue
2. If there is no online catalogue:
- the place of origin comes is copied from the most recent printed catalogue 3. If there is no readily available catalogue entry:
- the place of origin comes from other literature. 4. If there is no literature or the data there is wrong'
- the place of origin is given on our own assessment
Index Place of Origin
The normalised place of origin gives city, region, and country information
1. If only a city is given
- the normalised entry also gives country
2. If only a region is given
- the normalised entry also gives country
3. Names are given in English according to present-day regions
- Tegernsee --> Tegernsee, Germany
- Bayern --> Bavaria, Germany
- Westdeutschland --> Western Germany
- Nordfrankreich --> Northern France
- Böhmen --> Czech Republic
-
ISO 639-1 (2 letter abbr., see ISO 639-1) is used for language abbreviations.
-
If ISO 639-1 has no language-code for a language, the abbr. - as long at it is not already taken for another language - consists of the first two letters of the language (e.g. al. for alemannic).
-
If a Manuscript holds more than one language, all languages are separated and categorised in main language (mainlang) and other languages (otherLang).
- The Abbrevation of countrynames follows the ISO 3166-1 Alpha 3 standard, which consists of 3 letters.
The PIDs of the manuscripts consist of two parts:
[place][institution]-[signature of manuscript in this location]
Rules:
The rules for the creation are as follows:
- [place] = first letter of placename, e.g. Graz --> g
- [institution] = two letters of institution, e.g. Universitätsbibliothek --> ub
- [signature]:
- ommited "ms", "cod" and the like;
- normalized all special characters to hyphen
- kept collection if necessary (number of letters as seems appropriate);
- "fol" = fol // 2° a= 2;
- -nd for manuscripts with no signature
- multiple manuscripts in one library without a signature - -nd + consecutive number --> -nd-1, -nd-2, etc.
-
3 letter abbrevation of [place][instituion] already taken --> Workarounds are as follows:
-
three letter for city and none for library
--> Alencon bibliotheque municipal & Auxerre bibliotheque municipal = ale & aux -
other letters for [institution]
--> Melk Benediktinerstift = mbs *BUT* München Bayerische Staatsbibliothek = mbb -
use three letters for [institution] and none for place
--> Rijsmuseum Meermanno-Westreenianum in Den Haag = rmw

In order to ensure data consistency and interlinking a series of lists/indices were established:
- List of Persons (This list holds all the biblical persons, referenced in the Compendium with der GND and Wikidata ID and references to the resp. Superstructure IDs)
- List of Archives (This List holds all archives, where our compendium witnesses are located, with the geoNames Id and the coordinates of the city)
- List of Graphical Co-Transmissions (This list holds information regarding the graphical co-transmissions of the compendium)
- List of Textual Co-Transmissions (This list holds information regarding the graphical co-transmissions of the compendium)
