Born digital.

Most MoEML documents, or significant fragments with xml:id attributes, can be addressed using the mol: prefix and accessed through the web application with their id + .xml.

The molagas prefix points to the shape representation of a location on MoEML’s OpenLayers3-based rendering of the Agas Map.

Links to page-images in the Chadwyck-Healey Early English Books Online (EEBO) repository. Note that this is a subscription service, and may not be accessible to those accessing it from locations outside member institutions.

Links to page-images in the English Broadside Ballad Archive (EBBA).

The mdt (MoEML Document Type) prefix used on catRef/target points to a central taxonomy in the includes file.

The mdtlist (MoEML Document Type listing) prefix used in linking attributes points to a listings page constructed from a category in the central MDT taxonomy in the includes file. There are two variants, one with the plain xml:id of the category, meaning all documents in the specified category, and one with the suffix _subcategories, meaning all subcategories of the category.

The molgls (MoEML gloss) prefix used on term/corresp points to a a glossary entry in the GLOSS1.xml file.

This molvariant prefix is used on ref/target attributes during automated generation of gazetteer index files. It points to an element in the generated variant spellings listing file which lists all documents which contain a particular spelling variant for a location.

This molajax prefix is used on ref/target attributes during the static build process, to specify links which point to MoEML resources which should not be loaded into the source page during standalone processing; instead, these should be turned into links to the XML source documents, and at HTML page load time, these should be turned into AJAX calls. This is to handle the scenario in which a page such as an A-Z index of the whole site would end up containing virtually the whole site inside itself.

The molstow prefix is used on facs attributes to link to the HCMC verison of the Stow facsimiles. Usually the first group is the year (1633) and then last is the image number (0001).

The molshows prefix is used on facs attributes to link to the copies of page-images from mayoral shows stored in the london account on the HCMC server. The first group is the year (1633), the second is the source repository, and then last is the image file name.

The sb prefix is used on ref/target attributes to link to Stow’s Books URLs at UToronto.

Our editorial and encoding practices are documented in detail in the Praxis section of our website.

Fifth Static Release: Codename MAPS1

v.7.0 is the fifth release of a static version of our site. Older versions of MoEML are still available and may be browsed via the links at https://mapoflondon.uvic.ca/old.

This release has the codename MAPS1 because we are formally publishing the Mapography of Early Modern London.

Major Content Release

The Mapography of Early Modern London is our major content release in v.7.0. This finding aid for maps of early modern London has an extended preface about early modern maps, the scope of the finding aid, the data model employed in the finding aid, and recommendations for use. We list 135 maps of London, with links to digital surrogates and/or bibliographical details for print surrogates.

We are also publishing our encoded transcription of the 1598 A Survey of London. The entity tagging has been checked and corrected where necessary by the team currently encoding the 1633 edition. The 1598 text is undergoing peer review. For more information, see the Stow landing page. We will say more about the work and the contributors when the edition has gone through peer review.

The ward pages have been reworked. We have added images of the Blome maps in the Crace Collection (thanks to the British Library), links to the relevant sections of the 1598 and 1633 texts of the Survey of London, and a clarifying note about the ward boundaries drawn on our edition of the Agas map. RAs Jamie Zabel and Amogha Lakshmi Halepuram Sridhar wrote abstracts for the ward pages.

Addition of Blome’s Ward Maps

Thanks to the generosity of the British Library, which kindly waived permission fees, we have added Blome’s maps of the London wards to our ward pages. These maps were published in John Strype’s 1720 Survey of London. Even though they are post-fire, they are the earliest ward maps we have and represent the general footprint of the wards as they would have been in Stow’s day.

Updates to Praxis

Since the v.6.6 release, we have updated our documentation on how to encode interpolations and supplied characters (Encode a Primary Source Transcription).

Progress on the MoEML Anthology of Mayoral Shows

Most of the modern editions are now under contract. Our team of experts on mayoral pageantry are checking over the old-spelling transcriptions, which are published on the MoEML site. The modern editions will be published in the MoEML Mayoral Shows anthology (MoMS) on the LEMDO platform.

The Chapin Library provided us with images of Dekker’s Troia Nova Triumphans. These images are now embedded in the edition. We thank the Chapin Library and especially recently retired Director Wayne Hammond for their generosity. They make it possible for our viewers to click on open-access images while they are reading our transcription.

Progress on Stow’s Survey

With this release, we are formally publishing the encoded text of our edition of the 1598 A Survey of London. The text and encoding will soon be undergoing peer review.

We are nearing the end of our work on the 1633 text of Stow, Munday, and Dyson’s The Survey of London.

We are working with Alexandra Gillespie’s Old Books, New Science lab at the University of Toronto Mississauga to identify and encode all the sources Stow mentions in his prose and marginal notes.
