It might be interesting to be able to see on the database (i.e., without actually seeing the physical pages) <B>how</B> various texts are entered into the MS. Is there a change in format (line spacing and placement, initials, etc.) from one text to the next, for example? <BR/><BR/>Furthermore, if Ker is your starting point, you probably need to figure out what to do with his tendency to assign multiple short texts to a "group" within the MS. Since you mentioned Tiberius A.iii, I'd refer you to his Items 9a-l. I don't agree with his grouping here, but it's relevant information nevertheless.Prof. de Breezehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15058193046200756821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3571309.post-1169491393564162962007-01-22T13:43:00.000-05:002007-01-22T13:43:00.000-05:00For the visual display of information, and the cre...For the visual display of information, and the creation of a tree to access particular subgroupings of that information, I would suggest that you read Edward Tufte. He has published several works on the subject. <BR/><BR/>Although I'm sure the diagram of the information you intend to make accessible presented above is clear enough to experts in the field, I would hope that you build in an 'old english texts for dummies' capability as well.<BR/><BR/>One last thought: for the sake of simplicity, just make the elemental sections searchable and sortable by text, scribe, date, scribe, glossator, shelfmark, leaf, etc. (&-or). The resulting pages should then appear in a series or gallery of preview panes that can be expanded to larger size for full page, or side-by-side viewing.Richard Reitzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03615625106964491572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3571309.post-1169490547522996202007-01-22T13:29:00.000-05:002007-01-22T13:29:00.000-05:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Richard Reitzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03615625106964491572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3571309.post-1169469686988493012007-01-22T07:41:00.000-05:002007-01-22T07:41:00.000-05:00I'm curious: were you working from a microfilm of ...I'm curious: were you working from a microfilm of Tib. A.iii or just Ker's description? I've been waiting for ASMMF to release it on microfiche, as I can't find a film anywhere. Incidentally, Paul Szarmach's website has said that he is in the progress of editing the "Tberius A.iii group" volume of ASMMF for at least two years now. But still I wait...Prof. de Breezehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15058193046200756821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3571309.post-1169399554181657642007-01-21T12:12:00.000-05:002007-01-21T12:12:00.000-05:00And when you're done with the OE database, can you...And when you're done with the OE database, can you do one for ME manuscripts, too! :) Seriously, I think this is a fantastic idea.

But I think the <I>idea</I> is fantastic. I have the same kind of visualization problems you describe. As my 4th-grade math teacher always said, "When in doubt, draw a picture."<BR/><BR/>When we have our half-full/half-empty drinks at Kalamazoo, I'd love to talk (and draw on napkins) about how this might relate to a manuscript database I'm planning.Tirunculahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16788199657297216288noreply@blogger.com
