The naming conventions for illustrations in manuscripts are similar to those for books but there are differences:

• subject titles are the same as for print editions, i.e. Heimskringla = Hms
• manuscript titles which are shelf marks receive minimal abbreviation, i.e. Nks 1867 4to = Nks1867
• folium replaces page number plus r = recto or v = verso

I constructed a naming convention for Nks 1867 4to that requires:

• a primary source title, i.e. Prose Edda = PrE
• a miscellaneous designation for material that does not illustrate a scene, i.e. the illustrations of spears in Nks 1867 4to f.111r
• the manuscript title or shelf mark, i.e. Nks 1867 4to = Nks1867
• a provenance identifier, i.e. Danish Royal Library = DRL
• folium number "r" = recto and "v" = verso
• an optional two digit number indicating if there is more than one illustrations on the page, e.g. ill-01

Example: PrE-Nks1867-DRL-098r.jpg

Example: Misc-Nks1867-DRL-111r.jpg

To Do

• create naming conventions for image files of gallery paintings etc.
