Most
MoEML documents, or significant fragments with xml:id attributes, can
be addressed using the mol: prefix and accessed through the web application
with their id + .xml.
The molagas prefix points to the shape representation of a location on
MoEML’s OpenLayers3-based
rendering of the Agas Map.

Early English Books Online (EEBO)
repository. Note that this is a subscription service, and may not be accessible to those
accessing it from locations outside member institutions.
Links to page-images in the
English Broadside Ballad Archive (EBBA).
The mdt (
MoEML Document Type) prefix used on catRef/target points
to a central taxonomy in the includes file.
The mdtlist (
MoEML Document Type listing) prefix used in linking attributes points to a listings page constructed from a category in the central MDT taxonomy in the includes file. There are two variants, one with the plain xml:id of the category, meaning all documents in the specified category, and one with the suffix _subcategories, meaning all subcategories of the category.
The molgls (
MoEML gloss) prefix used on term/corresp points
to a a glossary entry in the GLOSS1.xml file.
This molvariant prefix is used on ref/target attributes during automated
generation of gazetteer index files. It points to an element in the generated variant spellings
listing file which lists all documents which contain a particular spelling variant for a
location.
This molajax prefix is used on ref/target attributes during the static build
process, to specify links which point to MoEML resources which should not be loaded into the source
page during standalone processing; instead, these should be turned into links to the XML source
documents, and at HTML page load time, these should be turned into AJAX calls. This is to handle
the scenario in which a page such as an A-Z index of the whole site would end up containing
virtually the whole site inside itself.
The molstow prefix is used on facs attributes to link to the HCMC verison of the Stow facsimiles.
Usually the first group is the year (1633) and then last is the image number (0001).
Our editorial and encoding practices are documented in detail in the Praxis section of our website.
Added XInclude for listPrefixDef in the header.Fixed schematron errors in name element and
deleted byline element. Added students as authors.Put change elements inside revisionDesc into the correct (latest first) order.Converted @rend to @style, through XSLT transformation.
Transformed existing
byline elements into a respStmt element in the header. Left byline
elements in place for the moment.
Added front element with docTitle as part of a
normalization process. This will be used as the definitive page title on rendering.Editorial changes made so we can make the page public. Deletion of links to .pdf files.Various updates and fixes made through XSLT, to
standardize and normalize encoding practices.Page created 5 May 2011Janelle Jenstad Added content and markup. 520 Class 1

For Class 1, please read Kagan, de Certeau, and the introduction to
John Taylor’s
The carriers cosmographie (STC 23740). I
have partially edited Taylor’s text and posted it
to the Library on MoEML You may also read it via Early
English Books Online. If you are on campus or logged into the U.Vic. library system, click on
the title to go directly to the bibliographic record for The carriers cosmographie; you may read either the page images or the diplomatic transcription.
MoEML will be an important part of our course. Browse
the website, especially the Agas map, before our first class. The experimental
map has much higher resolution and is easier to pan across. Note that the Ward
boundaries (the purple lines) are not correct on the experimental map.
: Why is it pleasurable to look
down upon a city? How is looking at a map like the experience of viewing a city
from above? Any thoughts on how an early modern Londoner might experience a map
given that they could not see the from a plane, skyscraper, or aerial
photograph? What sorts of understandings are forged by viewing from above? from
walking? Any thoughts (from your own experience) of how being a pedestrian
tourist in a city and being a foot commuter in the same city are
different/similar experiences? What’s it like to navigate on foot using a modern
map? We will want to return to this chapter throughout Part I of the course,
which is mainly about ways of imagining the city by walking its streets or
routes. (JJ)
: Make sure you understand Kagan’s three
ways of conceptualizing a city (civitas, urbs, res
publica). We will try to apply these terms to depictions of various
early modern cities. Also note the difference between chorographic and
communocentric views. We will want to deploy Kagan’s terms throughout the
course. (JJ)
A Table of the cheiffest citties, and
townes in England, as they ly from London and the distance of miles,
howe a man may travill from London to any of them or from any of them to
London. I will bring a copy of this document to class.
: Beier and Finlay, Harkness and Howard. I may draw upon these sources
in my prolegomena and commentary. I list them here so that you have full
bibliographic information. You do not need to read them for class.
Summer courses move very rapidly. If you wish to begin your readings for the
course, I suggest you begin with the five plays that will occupy our five last
class meetings. Some copies of each play are available at the Campus Bookstore,
