If you are interested to add a collection to the databse, please do get in touch.

Which data do we need?

The data model of the Clavis canonum database is the result of the fairly long history of the project. The following fields are needed:

  • Key: The first two letters are the siglum of the respective collection, followed by a running number. If collections are divided into books, use a digit to separate book number and canon number (BU02.001 = first canon in book two of Bruchard's Liber decretorum), if not, not (TC001 = canon 11 in TC). One can also have further subdivisions (GR1.032.06.001 = first canon in Gratian, D.32 c.6)
  • Coll. = Short name of the collection
  • Location: Folio, page, or column the beginning of the individual canon is found. Where possible, we add a page-specific link to the digital image of the page in question.
  • Author group: Siglum of the relevant author group, based on the inscription (whether or not this information is factually correct). Note that popes of the same name are but one author group (1GR = all canons attributed to a Pope Gregory). See the list of all sigla.
  • Inscription: The inscription as found in the base manuscript/print.
  • Incipit: The first six words of a canon
  • Explicit: The last three words

Standardisation of the Latin

Linda Fowler-Magerl very moderately standardised the Latin of the collections she transcribed.

How to transmit the data

The easiest way is to create a spreadsheet with Google Docs, create a new page for the collection in the Clavis Wiki, and either insert the link to the spreadsheet on this page, or email us the link.
