fixing files and explaining biblio-like items in names file
I missed two files recently when I was fixing the problem created when I added the xml:id attribute to the TEI root element:
- SKng-1899-Oslo-025-01-vgNet.xml
- SKng-1899-Oslo-026-01-vgNet.xml
I fixed these two files listed above and re-saved all of the other 77 files while I was checking the files. I uploaded them all again to the server.
I fixed the misplaced xml:id for Hel as a <placeName> in the names file.
I couldn't find a problem with Huginn (the raven) tagged with a <persName>. I think that I must have fixed it already but hadn't uploaded the file yet because there were other changes to be make. I looked in both SAM66-77r.xml and Nks1867-94r.xml where Huginn occurs in the illustrations, and also in the names.xml file.
In the new biblio.xml file, I created xml:ids for:
- xml:id="SKng-1899-ed-1"
- xml:id="SKng-1900-ed-2"
- xml:id="SAM-66-4to"
- xml:id="Nks-1867-4to"
The xml:ids listed above in the biblio.xml file are different than the xml:ids for these items in the names.xml file.
I added comments in the names.xml file to make sure that it is clear that the xml:ids are different than in the biblio.xml file. These editions and manuscripts, as well as others such the Eddas, are in the names.xml file because I want to write about the circumstances of their creation. For example, the two manuscripts are hand-copied seventeenth-century paper manuscripts because the Church was in control of Iceland's only printing press for a very long time and would not print secular material. As for the editions of Kongesagaer, part of the motivation for creating the deluxe first edition in the first place was to provide a national genesis narrative to aid in Norway's attempts to gain independence from Sweden, and the second edition was actually subsidized by the Norwegian parliament. The second edition was such a success that Kongesagaer became known as Norway's "second Bible."
I should have blogged yesterday about the work that I did on the biblio.xml file. I have added that hour into today's time. I will not neglect blogging in the future. I am using <biblStruct> for articles and monographs and biblio for manuscripts.
