MAJW work 2022-10-31 to 2022-11-04

Minutes: 150
Following the detailed plan from Friday’s meeting, I set up extraction and
rendering of <msDesc> elements based on parsing the fields in
the mentions table. This results in 129 distinct manuscript descriptions,
which look pretty much OK to me, but I’m running them past AB before moving on. There
are some inconsistencies in the db entries which we could/should correct manually, but
other than that we’re now in a position to generate references which point to <msDesc>
entries and then add the localizing information for the specific reference.
I still have to finish manually building out the multi-volume entries for the secondary sources, so that will be next. On Friday I researched and encoded the six volumes of PREJ, which wasn’t easy, and I still have a question in with AB on that one.
