¶Variant Toponyms listed by Carlin and Belcher
This document lists the variant toponyms listed in Martha Carlin and Victor Belcher’s
Gazetteer to the c.1270 and c.1520 Maps with Historical Notes
(1989). The variants are grouped according to the MoEML XML:id and authority name
for the place. Where MoEML’s authority name differs
from the headword in Carlin and Belcher, we include the headword among the variants.
Note that this finding aid is not
an edition of Carlin and Belcher’s gazetteer, but rather a different way of capturing
key data they have compiled for their gazetteer.
Our main aim in capturing the variant toponyms in tabular form here is to populate
the MoEML gazetteer
dynamically with all of these variants. Our own gazetteer is designed for use in NLP
applications to scan large corpora for toponyms.
Ingesting Carlin and Belcher’s aggregation of toponymic variants makes our gazetteer
more exhaustive.
See also our cross-indices to Pantzer,
Ekwall, and Sugden.
Carlin and Belcher include the dates of the sources in which they found each variant.
We have not captured the dates,
but encourage users to refer to Carlin and Belcher’s excellent work for further information.
Their gazetteer is
helpfully available in three downloadable PDF files; the item will download when you
