Complete Personography
¶Statement of Practices and Principles in Constructing the Historical Personography
MoEML’s prosopographical database (the
Personography) is meant to facilitate five outcomes:
-
Provide a complete index to people mentioned in MoEML, especially the many people listed in the 1598, 1603, 1618 and 1633 editions of Stow’s Survey.
-
Multiple MoEML files can link to single person entry, thereby tapping into a dynamic and centralized database to identify and annotate an in-text mention of a person.
-
All of these annotations are simultaneously updated across MoEML as we acquire new information about a person.
-
We can capture evidence of the existence of a person even if we have only a single data point (a mention in Stow’s Survey, for example), and provide additional context and information as our knowledge base grows.
-
Our TEI-XML encoding of prosopographical data will facilitate the conversion of the Personography into RDF triples for eventual deposit in the LINCS triple-store where our data can be integrated with other prosopographies of early modern Londoners.
When you use the Personography, please be aware that it has grown by accretion. It
was
created initially to supplement our Encyclopedia and digital editions of Stow’s Survey and the mayoral shows by providing brief
annotations on the people mentioned therein. We revise entries and add new entries
regularly,
meaning that this database is a work in progress. Our cross-refereeing process, by
which every
contributor is responsible for confirming or qualifying previous identifications,
means that
the Personography entries are occasionally disambiguated, deduplicated, or updated
with new
information. We provide links to the Oxford Dictionary of National
Biography, Mayors and Sheriffs of London, Encyclopedia Britannica, and WikiData where entries exist;
note that those projects also add new entries regularly, which means that our set
of links may
be incomplete. The Personography is not an exhaustive list of early modern Londoners,
but it is
an exhaustive list of every person mentioned in a MoEML edition or encyclopedia entry.
If you have a large dataset of early modern people, we recommend that you contact
the LINCS
team (Linked Infrastructure for Networked Cultural Scholarship, via MoEML Project
Director Janelle Jenstad, who is also the Connections Lead for LINCS). In
the linked dataverse, your data can have an independent life and be richly linked
to ours
without having to be ingested into our Personography.

St. Paul’s Churchyard
Surrounding St. Paul’s Cathedral, St. Paul’s Churchyard has had a multi-faceted history in use and function, being the location of burial, crime, public gathering, and celebration. Before its destruction during the civil war, St. Paul’s Cross was located in the middle of the churchyard, providing a place for preaching and the delivery of Papal edicts (Thornbury).St. Paul’s Churchyard is mentioned in the following documents:

Blackfriars (Farringdon Within)
The largest and wealthiest friary in England, Blackfriars was not only a religious institution but also a cultural, intellectual, and political centre of London. The friary housed London’s Dominican friars (known in England as the Black friars) after their move from the smaller Blackfriars precincts in Holborn. The Dominicans’ aquisition of the site, overseen by Robert Kilwardby, began in 1275. Once completed, the precinct was second in size only to St. Paul’s, spanning eight acres from the Fleet to St. Andrew’s Hill and from Ludgate to the Thames. Blackfriars remained a political and social hub, hosting councils and even parlimentary proceedings, until its surrender in 1538 pursuant to Henry VIII’s Dissolution of the Monasteries (Holder 27–56).Blackfriars (Farringdon Within) is mentioned in the following documents:
-

London Bridge
As the only bridge in London crossing the Thames until 1729, London Bridge was a focal point of the city. After its conversion from wood to stone, completed in 1209, the bridge housed a variety of structures, including a chapel and a growing number of shops. The bridge was famous for the cityʼs grisly practice of displaying traitorsʼ heads on poles above its gatehouses. Despite burning down multiple times, London Bridge was one of the few structures not entirely destroyed by the Great Fire of London in 1666.London Bridge is mentioned in the following documents:

St. Christopher le Stocks
St. Christopher le Stocks was originally built on Threadneedle Street on the banks of Walbrook before 1225, andwas dedicated to the patron saint of watermen
(Weinreb and Hibbert 751). The church has been known by many names, which includeSt. Christopher upon Cornhull,
St. Christopher in Bradestrete,
andSt. Christopher near le Shambles
(Harben; BHO). Since the 14th century, the church has been known as some variant of St. Christopher le Stocks, which derives from its proximity to the Stocks Market. The church is not labelled, but is identifiable, on the Agas map.St. Christopher le Stocks is mentioned in the following documents:

Holy Trinity Priory
Holy Trinity Priory, located west of Aldgate and north of Leadenhall Street, was an Augustinian Priory. Stow notes that Queen Matilda established the Priory in 1108in the parishes of Saint Marie Magdalen, S. Michael, S. Katherine, and the blessed Trinitie, which now was made but one Parish of the holy Trinitie
(Stow). Before Matilda united these parishes under the name Holy Trinity Priory, they were collectively known as the Holy Cross or Holy Roode parish (Stow; Harben).Holy Trinity Priory is mentioned in the following documents:
-
Crossed Friars
One of the smallest London friaries, Crossed Friars (also known as Crouched Friars or Crutched Friars) housed the Bretheren of the Holy Cross. Despite John Stow’s assertion that the friary was founded in 1298 (Stow 1:147), it is first mentioned by Henry III in 1269, which suggests that Raph Hosiar and William Sabernes gave their founding bequest some time in that decade. Over the next three (or possibly four) centuries, the friars added a dozen more tenaments to the precinct. By the early fourteenth century, the friary occupied over two acres of land south of Hart Street (later dubbed Crutched Friars) that ran along the west side of Woodroffe Lane to Tower Hill.

These fishponds relied on two separate types of holding areas: the vivarium, or breeding pond, and the servatorium, or holding pond. To catch and sort fish, workers drained the shallow ponds through diversion conduits equipped with gates and sluices.

Shoreditch
A suburban neighbourhood located just north of Moorfields and outside Londonʼs City Wall, Shoreditch was a focal point of early modern theatrical culture. Following a boom in Londonʼs population from 1550 to 1600, the neighbourhood became a prime target for development. The building of the Theatre in 1576 and the Curtain in the following year established Shoreditchʼs reputation as Londonʼs premier entertainment district, and the neigbourhood also featured a growing number of taverns, alehouses, and brothels. These latter establishments were often frequented by local players, of whom many prominent members were buried on the grounds of nearby St. Leonardʼs Church.
