CHIGC Glossary
Annotated Manuscript = tbd (Zones for elements as marked up in the TEI doc through the cadmus tool, showed in the manuscript view, snippets used on the 2nd and 3rd layer).
2nd Layer = Reached by clicking on the element groups (shown in gray when hovering) in the NavGraph. The pages of this layer for the single element groups display an introduction to the content, an abstract representation of the relevant area of the canonic graph, a critical reading text for all the texts in the group, and facsimile snippets showing the group as it appears in the annotated manuscripts.
3rd Layer = Reached by clicking on individual elements (nodes and text blocks) in the NavGraph, or clicking on the individual elements shown in the abstraction of the graph snippet on the 2nd layer. The pages of this layer for individual elements display a critical reading text for the element and facsimile snippets showing the element as it appears in the annotated manuscripts. The 3rd layer can also be reached from the critical text, transcription and indices.
Cadmus = Annotation tool used to draw zones on manuscript facsimiles (--> annotated manuscripts) corresponding to elements defined in the superstructure (text blocks, nodes, diagrams, element groups). These zones are displayed either as colored shapes linked to the transcription (on the manuscript facsimiles / transcription display) or exported as snippets of facsimiles displayed on the 2nd layer and 3rd layer. The Cadmus data is stored in the TEI documents of individual manuscripts.
Connection = Lines connecting the nodes in the Compendium's graph.
Critical text = tbd
Critical reading text = tbd
Diagram = A schematic (as opposed to pictorial --> see Picture) representation. Examples are figures showing cross-sections of the Ark, the 42 encampments of the Tribes of Israel in the desert, 12 Tribes of Israel around the Tabernacle, and a plan of the city of Jerusalem.
Diagrammatic co-transmission = Diagrams that are transmitted together in the same manuscript or on the same roll as the Compendium.
Element = "Elements" of the Compendium are nodes, connections, text blocks, labels, and pictures. Internally, a superstructre table is used to identify these elements and organize centralized information about them.
Element Group = A section of the Compendium's graph comprising a group of nodes and texts. When hovering over the NavGraph, these element groups are highlighted in gray. Clicking on a group leads to the 2nd layer.
Graph = The Compendium is basically a set of genealogical trees. In terms of information science this is a "graph", consisting of "nodes" and "edges" (which we call connections).
Graph Structure = An specific arrangement of the elements within the Compendium's genealogical graph. This includes the presence/absence of nodes, the horizontal order of the nodes, vertical placement of nodes, and whether or not their are connections between the nodes. The manuscripts have slightly different versions of this structure (graph versions).
Graph Version = A specific graph structure that is well represented in the Compendium tradition.
Label = A textual element that is not a text block or the content of a node. Often written in the manuscripts in red, these elements usually clarify relationships (wife, concubine, etc.) but can also declare the end of an age or serve other purposes. The superstructure currently does not include identifiers for labels. Nor are they regarded on the 3rd layer pages.
Manuscript Group = A group of manuscripts that, given shared visual features (layout and design), are clearly related.
Medaillon --> see Node
Navigational Graph, NavGraph = Critical visual representation of the work based on the synthesis of various witnesses. This 1st layer gives access to element groups discussed on the 2nd layer and single elements on the 3rd layer of the visual edition. The current NavGraph represents the "standard version" of the Compendium Historiae (Short Text Version, Graph Version I).
Node = The circles or "medaillons" in the Compendium's graph that stand for single biblical figures.
Picture = A pictorial or iconographical representation, that is, an image depicting a person, object, or scene. In the case of the Compendium pictures often appear within nodes (especially those marking the six ages) but can also be placed next to the text block or node they illustrate.
Siglum = The unique combination of letters and numbers designating a manuscript witness of the Compendium in the database. Sigla are formed based on one or two letters associated with the city of the archive (B = Berlin, Bm = Baltimore, Bn = Bremen, Bo = Bologna, etc.) and a number roughly reflecting the dating of the manuscript (a lower number is an earlier manuscript).
Sub-diagram = [entry to be removed as we usually just say diagram, right?]
Superstructure = The sum of unique identifiers assigned to all elements that appear in all witnesses of the Compendium: nodes, texts, groups of elements, sub-diagrams, and pictures. Also, further information on the elements is collected and centralized here (authority file identifiers, canonized labels for elements, etc.).
TEI document = tbd (#1 - TEI file for manuscripts (containing, faksimile, zones, msDesc, transcription), #2 - TEI files for critical text, #3 other (NavGraph, CaseStudies etc)
Text Version
-
Short Text Version = The shortest, and probably earliest, version of the Compendium's text. This is the version that is edited in the critical text and found in witnesses K, C, C2, and Kö. All other versions (Interpolated, Long, Extended) are not stable, single texts found in a large number of manuscripts, but rather a set of highly variable additions and continuations added onto the Short Text Version.
-
Interpolated Text Version = Short Text Version plus additional text blocks (see Interpolation).
-
Long Text Version = Short Text Version or Interpolated Text in which all text blocks have additional text.
-
Extended Text Version = Short, Interpolated, or Long Version that has been extended to a chronicle that continues after the life of Christ.
Text Block = A small section of the Compendium's text, almost always describing a single person, with some exceptions. Usually associated with a node these short texts are visually formatted as small "blocks" so as to fit into the Compendium's graphic structure.
Textual co-transmission = Texts that appear together in the same manuscript (or on the same roll) as the Compendium.
Transcription = Semi-diplomatic transcriptions of single manuscripts to be shown with the annotated manuscript facsimiles and used on the 2nd layer and 3rd layer.

Visual edition = Traditionally, scholarly editions are text-centric editions (--> critical text). But the Compendium is essentially a "visual" work. The visual edition first of all is the critical representation of the visual structure (and all elements of the work), the so called "Navigational Graph". From this 1st layer of the edition users get to a 2nd layer (dealing with sections of the work, element groups) and to a 3rd layer (dealing with all single elements).
