Early Modern Manuscripts: Transcription, Encoding and Digitalization

As part of the MA colloquium From the Archives to Digital Database: Encoding Early Modern Manuscript Texts taught by Dr. Beatrice Montedoro at the University of Zurich in 2021, I transcribed early modern manuscripts (commonplace books) from secretary hand into a semi-diplomatic transcription and encoded them in HTML (original early modern English and standardized English version). The results were then published on the digital database DEx.

My contribution spans the following extracts under Bodleian Library MS English poetry d. 3:

f. 42r, f. 42v
f. 80r, f. 80v
f. 81r, f. 81v
f. 86v

Further additions of mine (as part of an XML collectively transcribed by all participants in the seminar) can be found under Bodleian Library MS English miscellaneous d. 28:

By The Duke of Byron, in The Conspiracy and Tragedy of Byron (3.3.25-30), George Chapman in Bodleian Library MS English miscellaneous d. 28, col. 701
By Crequi, in The Conspiracy and Tragedy of Byron (4.1.176-185), George Chapman in Bodleian Library MS English miscellaneous d. 28, col. 701
By Crequi, in The Conspiracy and Tragedy of Byron (4.1.187-213), George Chapman in Bodleian Library MS English miscellaneous d. 28, cols. 702-703
