“…The religious titles coexist with material that has no religious connotations at all, and where the relative communities of authors and readers varied considerably. These texts fall across a number of differing categories, like science, literary prose and official documents, and are each shaped by communicative function, audience, format and even price in the original market (see Gants 2002: 189‒93; Bellingradt & Salman 2017: 2). Each of these variables had an immediate effect on the conventions which readers expected and to which authors strived to conform, which in turn most likely had an impact on the process of linguistic codification of individual categories of texts (Taavitsainen 2001: 140).…”

Positional spelling redistribution: word-initial /<v> and /<j> in Early Modern English (1500–1700)

The alternations in /<v> and /<j> are among the most well-known and commented-upon changes in Early Modern English spellings, yet little has been said about the potential factors underlying their standardisation, and whether and how the two alternant pairs could be linked together. The reason behind this knowledge gap may be found in the absence of a large-scale, quantitative investigation of these spellings, and consequently, the impossibility of commenting upon the relationship between patterns of chronological development and potential causes of change. This article focuses on the standardisation of word-initial /<v> and /<j> between 1500 and 1700 in printed English, and uses a quantitative model for the analysis of patterns of diachronic development in the two alternant pairs, across a range of texts from a sampled version of Early English Books Online. The results describe a rather abrupt, synchronised change in the redistribution of word-initial /<v> and /<j> between the 1620s and the 1640s. The discussion argues for a close connection between the diachronic developments in word-initial /<v> and /<j>, and pragmatic factors that affected the Early Modern English printing industry.

“…El circuito de comunicación de Darnton, como señalaban recientemente Daniel Bellingradt y Jeroen Salman, "has for many decades been a useful model and metaphor for the life cycle of printed books". 15 Sin embargo, estos mismos autores apuntaban que dicho circuito trabaja con conceptos relativamente estáticos, y proponían una aproximación a la historia del libro más dinámica e interconectada que incluyera tres dimensiones complementarias. Estas son: la materialidad (de los libros en cuanto objetos, y de los medios para su producción y distribución), la sociabilidad (con especial énfasis en la sociabilidad de la circulación y del consumo) y la espacialidad (vinculando la distribución geográfica de los libros con la circulación de conocimiento e ideas).…”

El Análisis de Redes Sociales es una metodología cada vez más utilizada por los historiadores. En este artículo nos proponemos explicar los conceptos básicos del ARS y cómo se está utilizando en la Historia del Libro. Asimismo, ofreceremo algunos ejemplos prácticos de la aplicación del ARS al estudio del comercio de libros en Sevilla en el siglo XVI, cuando esta ciudad era el único puerto desde el que se podían enviar libros a los virreinatos americanos

“…Reference works that aimed at collecting and distributing (historical) data and knowledge about a variety of topics became increasingly popular since the eighteenth century. Their proliferation intertwined with advances in book production and trade (Baten and Van Zanden, 2008; Buringh and Van Zanden, 2009; Bellingradt and Salman, 2017), a growing interest in the collection and diffusion of “useful knowledge” and the emergence of the “first knowledge economy” in Western Europe in the eighteenth century (Mokyr, 2002; Berg, 2007; Jacob, 2014). Few of these reference works are available as digital editions, like Johann Georg Krünitz’ Ökonomische Enzyklopädie (Krünitz, 1773-1858) [1].…”

Upcycling historical data collections. A paradigm for digital history?

PurposeUpcycling is conceptualised as a digital historical research practice aimed at increasing the scientific value of historical data collections produced in print or in electronic form between the eighteenth and the late twentieth centuries. The concept of upcycling facilitates data rescue and reuse as well as the study of information creation processes deployed by previous generations of researchers.Design/methodology/approachBased on a selection of two historical reference works and two legacy collections, an upcycling workflow consisting of three parts (input, processing and documentation and output) is developed. The workflow facilitates the study of historical information creation processes based on paradata analysis and targets the cognitive processes that precede and accompany the creation of historical data collections.FindingsThe proposed upcycling workflow furthers the understanding of computational methods and their role in historical research. Through its focus on the information creation processes that precede and accompany historical research, the upcycling workflow contributes to historical data criticism and digital hermeneutics.Originality/valueMany historical data collections produced between the eighteenth and the late twentieth century do not comply with the principles of FAIR data. The paper argues that ignoring the work of previous generations of researchers is not an option, because it would make current research practices more vulnerable and would result in losing access to the experiences and knowledge accumulated by previous generations of scientists. The proposed upcycling workflow takes historical data collections seriously and makes them available for future generations of researchers.
