Meanwhile organizing the material found up until now is taking up a lot of time (well spent!). Am working offline on the first thirty primary titles, listing them by U.v.A. call number and joining the title descriptions with pictures and details on marginalia and ownership. Each book in a folder of its own.
Systematically working through the list structures my mind for further steps. For instance, which information management software should I use? Devonthink?
To discipline myself and my thought: I tend to use Relational Databases (MS-Access for rapid development and testing, pencil and paper for design).
BeantwoordenVerwijderenThank you for your reaction! I need a program that is Mac compatible and have read favourable reviews on 'Devonthink', so will start by downloading a trial version. Looking forward to finding out what conclusions can be drawn from cultural data.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenI am of course curious to know how you found my blog. The common denominator 'Renaissance'?
