This page is a location to record manuscript catalogues which use TEI as a source, preservation, or output format. Please feel free to add any others that you know of -- Perhaps inserting them alphabetically by name?



  • Name: FIHRIST
  • URL: http://www.fihrist.org.uk/
  • Is TEI Available? Yes -- TEI XML download of individual manuscript descriptions
  • Description of Catalogue/Project: The FIHRIST catalogue provides a searchable interface to TEI XML manuscript descriptions from some of the major manuscript collections in the UK. With the continuing contribution of manuscript records from UK libraries, Fihrist aims to become a union catalogue for manuscripts in Arabic script. Partners include: Bodleian Library - University of Oxford, British Library, Cambridge University Library, The Islamic Manuscript Association, The Royal Asiatic Society of Great Britain and Ireland, SOAS - University of London, University of Birmingham, The John Rylands University Library - University of Manchester, Wellcome Library. See http://www.fihrist.org.uk/about for more information.

  • Name: Register of Early Modern Slovenian Manuscripts
  • URL: http://ezb.ijs.si/nrss/
  • Is TEI Available? Yes
  • Description of Catalogue/Project: The web portal presents Slovenian manuscripts from the Baroque and Enlightenment periods. The on-line Register in open access comprises manuscript descriptions of the first 100 manuscripts, researched so far, and 7.000+ digital images. The system, based on Fedora Commons, enables browsing the manuscript descriptions and associated facsimiles, as well as complex searches over structured data, including taxonomies of text types and social contexts (monastic, diocesan, civil etc.) in which the manuscripts came into existence. Even as work in progress, the repository demonstrates the variety and longevity of manuscript culture in early modern period and its important role in Slovenian literature.
  • Notes on use of TEI: No modifications.
