Sources

Manuscripts

Enter the following source details:

• source title: one of
  • “Autograph manuscript”
  • “Partly autograph manuscript”
  • “Manuscript copy”
• classification: add six terms from the predefined list
• publication:
  • date of writing
  • always include it, even if it is only a rough estimate, e.g.
    • mid 18th century (machine-readable 1750-01-01)

Then, add a single item:

• location
  • RISM siglum
  • URI (link to digitized version or catalogue entry)
  • label (“digitized version” or “catalogue entry”)
  • shelfmark
• other identifiers: “RISM” with ID

If a full score or all parts are described, enter the following information on the item level:

• title page with label (like “[fol. 1r, by Kiesewetter]”, “[wrapper]”, “[on binding]” etc)
  • use multiple title pages if appropriate
• physical description
  • extent (number of parts or number of folios/pages for full scores)
  • dimensions (height and width)
  • physical medium
    • usually “hand-ruled paper, 8–12 staves” or similar
    • if there are several sets of parts, omit dimensions above and write details here (e.g., WerW I.3.3: “two sets of parts: [newline] (1) autograph manuscript, ca. 1760, 8 parts, 16 x 22 cm, hand-ruled paper, 5 staves (10 mm) [newline] (2) manuscript copy, ca. 1790, 8 parts, 15 x 22 cm, hand-ruled paper, 5 staves (10 mm)”)
• general description
  • individual parts with number of written pages in parentheses, e.g., “S coro (2), A coro (2), T solo and coro (4), B coro (2), vl 1 (3), vl 2 (3), vlne (2), org (3)”
  • include any additional notes as new paragraph, e.g., “title page contains 17 performance dates: 1749-05-04, 1750-04-26 …”
  • if only data from the RISM entry and/or literature were used, write “catalogued according to RISM entry and Murányi (1997)” or similar

Lost manuscripts

• source title: “Lost manuscript”
• classification: last term must be “Lost”
• add a single item:
  • location (use “Repository name” if no RISM siglum is available)
  • (optional) general description

Prints

Enter the following source details:

• source title: “Print”
• classification: add six terms from the predefined list
• publication:
  • publisher
  • place
  • date of printing (mandatory)

Also, add the following information on the source level (see manuscripts for details):

• RISM identifier
• title page(s)
• physical description (extent, dimensions, physical medium)
• general description

Then, add several items where only the location is specified:

• RISM siglum
• URI (link to digitized version or catalogue entry)
• label (“digitized version” or “catalogue entry”)
• shelfmark

Warning

In the XML file, manually remove the m: prefix and namespace declaration from the <physMedium> tag.

History

• creation
  • date of composition; always include at least a date estimate
  • place of composition; use a parenthesized question mark to indicate assumed place, e.g. “Eisenstadt (?)”

Bibliography

• Add a single bibliography with default header “Bibliography”.

• Manually add bibliographic references and modern editions as XML code. Each entry is represented by a <bibl> element that contains one <genre> and one <ref> tag. The latter tag points to a reference using Pandoc Citations format (also see Quarto documentation).

  <bibl>
    <genre>reference</genre>
    <ref targettype="pandoc-citation">@Petermayr2020 [p. 23]</ref>
