This wiki is for contributors to the HC MID edition of Geneva Library, Ms. lat. 49, Jerome's Chronicles.

Work in this repository is coordinated with parallel work on MSS in St. Gallen (Kantonsbibliothek, Vadianische Sammlung, Ms. 298) and Bern (Burgerbibliothek, Cod. 219).

When material from each of the working projects is validated, it should be integrated in the central Jerome repository: https://github.com/HCMID/jerome

Validating and verifying work on Geneva 49

We need to complete the following indices (.csv files in the indices directory):

• textToImage.csv: index of text passages to documentary image
• textToPage.csv: index of text passages to (single) page
• pageToDefaultImage.csv: index of pages to bifolio images (issue 58, assigned to Neel Smith to generate from a script)

See these instructions for validating editorial work in the UnVEIL VM.
