  4. Numbering scheme (work in progress)


About this scheme

The immediate purpose of the new numbering scheme is to have fixed, identifying anchor points such as "p. 2[4]", "f. 5r [p. 9], etc., that can be depended on when creating descriptions of both manuscript contents (incl. marginalia) and scribal hands (the latter being still a new feature). It is to be hoped that it can be used to integrate collation data, to allow for 'virtual rebinding', and ultimately, that it will bring us one step closer to building a data model of the manuscript. Using a form-based interface, you can define ranges (e.g. 1r-6v) to reduce the amount of manual editing, add alternative paginations/foliations and specify the primary method of numbering. Every page is stored with a collection of triples.

To do:

  • Columns (e.g. YBL)
  • Conversion to roman numerals for preliminary or secondary sections
  • Format (folio, quarto, octavo, duodecimo, sextodecimo, ...)
  • Add collation formulae that can match references to individual pages below.
  • Formula for external URLs to indvidual pages, e.g. ISOS if and when URLs are stable.
  • Unique ids for every page (but already uniquely referentiable so this may be superfluous)
  • Hair-side / flesh-side (perhaps)
  • More crucially, see how far distinctions can be made between historical and present structures.
  • Allow fragments now scattered across institutions to be recombined (use case: Ganz, David, “The earliest manuscript of Lathcen’s Eclogae Moralium Gregorii and the dating of Irish cursive minuscule script”, in Early medieval Ireland and Europe (2015)).
  • Gaps (chasms, lacunae) can be recorded but how to make good use of them?
  • Accept a semi-colon-separated array of alternative designations.
