Dear DM community,
We are the Innovating Knowledge project (Huygens Institute, Amsterdam) have just gone through the annual post-project update of the project's database of the early medieval manuscripts transmitting the Etymologiae of Isidore of Seville. This is the second annual update after the official end of the project in August 2021, so we are quite excited that it could take place. The current database version (2.3.4) now contains detailed information on 496 manuscripts (up from 492 last year).
The database can be accessed at: https://db.innovatingknowledge.nl/. The data corresponding to v2.3.4 is published at: https://zenodo.org/record/8378866. You can read more on the project at: https://innovatingknowledge.nl/.
We are still experiencing some difficulties with the display of images, but once they are sorted, the database will also include images of 428 manuscripts. Also, 381 of the manuscripts are digitized, and for 305, we include a IIIF manifest, so that they can be browsed via an integrated viewer directly in the database environment. Manuscripts with IIIF manifests are discernible by a small IIIF logo underneath the sample image (the viewer can be accessed by clicking on the logo). [image.png] I hope you will find the database useful and the data reusable. The project is no longer actively funded, so we, unfortunately, can no longer fix the code or make any major technical changes, but if you spot any errors in the data, have information to add that you are willing to share, or know of manuscripts that you think should be included in this exhaustive survey of what survives and is known from before the year 1000, let me know.
Best wishes,
