TEI Metadata for a 2 volume copy of the Bowyer-Fittler Bible in the collection of the John Rylands Library, University of Manchester (R14793)

Abstract

• The Holy Bible ornamented with engravings by James Fittler from celebrated pictures by old masters (London: printed by Thomas Bensley for Robert Bowyer, 1795). The 2 XML files contain the TEI metadata for each volume by Naomi Billingsley. The XML files here contain the researcher-authored metadata for the volumes, which includes a description of the edition of the Bible and its illustrations. The research was funded by a Leverhulme Early Career Fellowship, ECF2016787. These metadata files were written for a digital edition of this Bible as part of a collection of Bible Illustrations for Manchester Digital Collections, published in May 2020. The published metadata includes additional strings, including manifest for the images. The published metadata can be downloaded from the individual items on Manchester Digital Collections via the links below.
