This repository contains bibliographic metadata for the first 357 issues of the weekly newspaper Ḥadīqat al-Akhbār published by Khalīl al-Khūrī in Beirut between 1858 and 1865. Digital facsimiles are not publicly available online. Local facsimiles have been added from #142 onwards.
current state/ to do
- done: for some unknown reason,
<biblStruct>carry two Julian dates from issue #142 onwards. The second one is erroneous and doesn't regularly change between issues.
some technical details
This repository contains a single TEI XML file containing one <biblStruct> for each issue. This file is produced through automatic iteration making use of this code and manual validation against the digital facsimiles of the microfilm copies held at Staatsbibliothek zu Berlin.
The TEI is then automatically converted to MODS XML for integration into reference management software etc (such as Zotero).
