Georeferencing the Early Modern London Book Trade: 2. Filling the Space in Bibliographies
In my previous blog post, I discussed the need for geocoded bibliographic databases in print culture studies
and the enormous value of the spatial queries that such databases would enable. What
would such a database look like? How might programmers and encoders design a database
that dynamically links data points about material books and stationers with spatial
variables? In an effort to answer such questions, I shall here showcase how The Map of Early Modern London (MoEML) has chosen to geocode data pertaining to the early modern London book trade
in a TEI-compliant XML database. My hope is that MoEML’s prototype will serve as a
touchstone for print historians, regardless of their specializations, who are interested
in incorporating spatial variables into their bibliographic data.
Print historians have used a variety of methods and languages to encode bibliographic
data. The English Short Title Catalogue (ESTC) uses MARC formatting, a library cataloguing method developed by the Library of Congress,
to encode their 460,000+ entries. The London Book Trade Database (LBTD) encodes its information as tab-delineated values in a Microsoft Access database.
Other resources use other, often unspecified methods. Ultimately, the method used
to encode data is superficial: what matters is that datasets are encoded (
marked-up) and therefore interoperable with one another.
MoEML is a TEI-XML project and therefore uses TEI-compliant XML documents and databases
to power its Geographic Information System (GIS) interface.1 For MoEML, as for other digital editorial projects, the Text Encoding Initiative
(TEI) provides a published set of standards for using the Extensible Markup Language
(XML).2 With these standards in mind, I recommended that MoEML adopt the following TEI-compliant
XML document tree as a template for encoding and geocoding its database of early modern
London books:3

At first glance, it may seem odd that we have chosen to use the
<person>
element as the root element (i.e., the sorting variable) in a so-called geocoded bibliographic database. Indeed, in my previous blog post, I lamented the fact that many bibliographic databases favour queries about stationers or material books over queries about print shops or bookshops. In practice, however, early modern print historians currently lack the raw spatial data required to support a truly geographical database (i.e., a database that primarily supports queries about locations of print activity).4 Before print historians can design a geographical data structure, they must first geo-reference existing data structures. MoEML’s geocoded bibliographic database therefore serves the transitional purpose of geo-referencing existing datasets about early modern stationers and their material books. Accordingly, we have purposefully chosen to imitate the document structure of existing datasets such as the British Book Trade Index (BBTI) and the London Book Trades Database (LBTD) by using the
<person>
as the root element in our database.
Each database entry contains biographical information about an early modern London
stationer. First, we use the
<persName>
, <occupation>
, <birth>
, and <death>
elements to tag the stationers’ names, occupations, dates of birth, and dates of
death respectively. Second, and more importantly, we use the <floruit>
elements to tag information about the stationers’ shop locations and the material
books printed, published, and/or sold there. The data structure, which nests the <person>
, <floruit>
, <location>
, and <listBibl>
elements as //person/floruit/location[@notBefore and @notAfter]/listBibl
, may be expressed as stationer X worked at location Y from date A to date B, where they were associated with a list of books.In this way, the document structure dynamically relates traditional bibliographic data points to new, complex geographic data points.
Significantly, this data structure allows us to encode locations of print activity
in terms of both their toponyms5 and geo-coordinates. Within the
<location>
element, we use the <address>
and <addrLine>
elements to tag an authoritative description of the location. We also use the <geo>
element to tag the location’s longitudinal and latitudinal coordinates. When paired,
these two data types (i.e., toponym and geo-coordinates) bear witness to both the
qualitative and quantitative aspects of geographic information.6![Title page of STC 22290. Image courtesy of LUNA. Title page of STC 22290. Image courtesy of LUNA.](graphics/henryv_titlepage.jpg)
![Title page of STC 22340. Image courtesy of LUNA. Title page of STC 22340. Image courtesy of LUNA.](graphics/yorkshiretragedy_titlepage.jpg)
Because of the chronological distance between modern print historians and the early
modern London book trade, both a location’s toponyms and its geo-coordinates must
be inferred from primary sources. For early modern print historians, book imprints
serve as primary sources in which the location of a book’s printer and/or bookseller
is often described in toponyms. For example, the imprint on the title page of a 1602 playbook of Shakespeare’s Henry V reads
London : Printed by Thomas Creede, for Thomas Pauier, and are to be sold at his shop in Cornhill, at the signe of the Cat and Parrets neare the Exchange, 1602(STC 22290; my emphasis). Even individual book imprints, however, are not reliable in and of themselves: multiple book imprints that describe the same location will often provide different or contradictory toponymic descriptions. For example, the imprint of a 1608 playbook of A Yorkshire Tragedy describes Thomas Pauier’s bookshop with less precision than the previous playbook:
London : Printed by R[ichard] B[radock] for Thomas Pauier and are to bee sold at his shop on Cornhill, neere to the exchange, 1608(STC 22340; my emphasis). Due to such inconsistencies, book imprints must be regarded as mere textual
witnessesto the objective location of print shops and/or bookshops in time and space. Much like the so-called
literary work,the objective location of an early modern print shop or bookshop is a
form [that] is inaccessible(Williams and Abbott 6) to print historians and therefore can only be
physically embodied(Williams and Abbott 5) in the imprints of material books and their digitization. We therefore use the
<app>
and <lem>
elements to encode each primary-source description of a print shop or bookshop’s
location as a single lemma. When combined, these lemmas aggregate data points that
allow us to approach an authoritative description of the print shop or bookshop’s
location. By using the <app>
and <lem>
elements to record our editorial practices, we are able to encode geographic data
points as transparently and accurately as possible.
While not the only encoding language available to print historians, TEI-XML certainly
provides print historians with an effective way to encode and geocode bibliographic
databases. TEI tagging acknowledges the textuality of the data available to us. In
this blog post, I have showcased how The Map of Early Modern London (MoEML) has used the TEI P5 Guidelines to develop a prototype for a geocoded database of early modern London books. MoEML’s
prototype database serves as a touchstone for pint historians insofar as it demonstrates
how researchers might incorporate and structure spatial data points within a traditional
bibliographic database. By geocoding existing datasets in this way, print historians
may lay the groundwork for new databases that primarily support queries about the
spatiality of the book trade. Of course, such possibilities cannot be realized unless
developers have access to raw spatial data pertaining to books. My next blog post
will discuss how print historians and programmers can work together to harvest and
cross-reference existing datasets to populate a geocoded bibliographic database.
Notes
- Although MoEML does not use a traditional GIS software package, it does meet most
broad definitions of a GIS. For instance, Tor Benhardsen (2008) defines a GIS as
any computer-based capability for the manipulation of geographical data
(Benhardsen 4). (TLG)↑ - For more information about TEI standards and practices, see the TEI P5 Guidelines. (TLG)↑
- See detailed explanation beneath the template. (TLG)↑
- Such data does exist in print sources such as Blayney’s The Bookshops in Paul’s Cross Churchyard (1990) and Pantzer’s appendices in the Short Title Catalogue, v.3 (1991), but it has yet to be transferred into a digitally readable format. (TLG)↑
A place-name; a name given to a person or thing marking its place of origin
(OED toponym n.2.a). (TLG)↑- Martyn Jessop (2008) aptly claims that the qualitative
place name
and the quantitativemap
constitute the two, mutually dependent sides of geographic information (Jessop 41). (TLG)↑
