Data Model: Modelling Manuscripts in a Wikibase edit
This Data Model is an attempt at using Wikidata for describing manuscripts. Predecessors in other RDF-type databases will be taken into account, most prominent examples include Biblissima's model (GitHub) and the FactGrid data model for manuscripts developed by Marco Heiles in 2020/21.
Fingerprint (label, description, alias) edit
The label of a manuscript item should make it recognisable to anyone familiar with it. While manuscripts are commonly referenced by their signatures (consisting of city, institution, record set, shelf number), some manuscript classes have canonical catalogue numbers which are used by scholars instead of library signatures. For example, Septuagint manuscripts are cited by their siglum in the Rahlfs catalog, New Testament manuscripts by Gregory-Aland-numbers, and so on. This is even more significant as catalogs often have different and competing concepts of manuscripts: While Pinakes records manuscripts as they are housed in libraries today, both Rahlfs's and Gregory/Aland's catalogs conceive manuscripts as they were originally created. Both concepts are valid and should be represented by interlinking Wikidata items.
Some manuscripts, especially the more famous ones, have what can be called “trivial names” which are widely used in publications and may be more familiar than library signatures. These trivial names are often used in the lemma of Wikipedia articles. Examples are the Archimedes palimpsest, the Fragmenta Dublinensia, the Madrid Skylitzes, the Vienna Dioscorides, the Codex Gigas, and the Cotton Genesis.
With these considerations in mind, our rules for labels are as follows:
- In general, the label for a manuscript item should be its signature in the least ambiguous form.
- If a manuscript is part of a group of manuscripts which are more commonly referred to by a canonical catalog code, this should be used as the label, and the signature be moved to alias.
- If a manuscript has a familiar trivial name, this name supersedes both canonical catalog codes and library signatures, which both become aliases.
The description should be as specific as possible. It need not repeat information which is already conveyed in the label. It can summarise intellectual contents of the manuscript, state basic properties (such as the manuscript having illuminations or being a palimpsest, the creation date, commissioner etc.). For mass imports, generic descriptions like “Greek New Testament manuscript with catena commentary” are possible, so long as the items are clearly discernible and have statements with additional information.
The alias of a manuscript should always contain the most familiar or useful designations of a manuscript, including but not limited to:
- library signature in full form (if not already used as label) as well as abbreviations
- catalog codes beside the canonical one
- obscure or obsolete trivial names
- sigla used in critical editions to designate this manuscript
Classes of manuscripts edit
The standard designation for any manuscript item is MS.instance of (P31)manuscript (Q87167). This is replaced in some cases by:
- MS.instance of (P31)manuscript fragment (Q30103158) for fragments of manuscripts (single leaves, scraps),
- MS.instance of (P31)illuminated manuscript (Q48498) for illuminated manuscripts,
- MS.instance of (P31)palimpsest (Q274076) for palimpsests,
- MS.instance of (P31)palm-leaf manuscript (Q1641020) for palm-leaf manusripts.
Other uses like instance of (P31)codex (Q213924), instance of (P31)book (Q571), instance of (P31)papyrus scroll (Q113016548), instance of (P31)papyrus fragment (Q95065857), instance of (P31)lectionary (Q284465) are discouraged.
Relation to volume (Q105763458) needs to be clarified.
Subclasses of manuscript (Q87167): query As of 17 October 2023 there are 187 Wikidata items classified as subclass of (P279)manuscript (Q87167). A tree chart can be generated with the Wikidata generic tree tool.
Looking through these cases one gets the impression of a dense, overgrown forest with entangled vines and brambles all over the place. Rather than taking out the machete or the chainsaw, I carefully slip and slither my way through it and list the connections. What I find is manuscripts classified according to form, material, regional origin, time period and language; I find literary genres and use cases, painting techniques, flag alphabets. What a mess!
After this survey the next step would be to identify where to start. We cannot transform a whole jungle into a tidy garden in one fell swoop. What we can do is stake a claim and start by delineating, weeding out, prodding and pruning the taxonomy.
