Building a prosopographical database for my thesis,
Pre-Conquest Travellers to Rome
This database will initially be built from material on the Prosopography of Anglo-Saxon England website.
As it states on this site, "PASE is based in the Department of History and the Centre for Computing in the Humanities, at King's College, London, and in the Department of Anglo-Saxon, Norse, and Celtic, at the University of Cambridge. The project was funded from 2000 to 2004 by the Arts and Humanities Research Board, and from 2005 to 2008 by the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC), with further unfunded extensions granted to June 2010."
After clicking the Database tab and on selecting Location, then Specific location and entering Rome in the look-up box the left half of the screen looks like this.
On clicking Go this is seen.
On clicking Rome this is seen.
On clicking Acca 3 in the Results column this is seen on the right half of the screen.
On clicking Event at the bottom of the factoid list on the right this is seen.
On clicking Journey this is seen.
Two of the three "factoids" refer to a journey to Rome. The first one ends with a bibliographical reference to a bilingual edition of Bede's Ecclesiastical History of the English People. On clicking NorthernAnnals.FirstSet this is seen.
My next post will describe how I store relevant information.
