Zodiac Imagery: Manuscript Collection/Discussion

[Koen G]

Thanks for your interest, this would be great!

The Zodiac project is still a work in progress. Eggyk has been doing a herculean amount of work by rating over 400 sequences so far. But the composition of the sample is guided by availability. France and Germany produced a lot of manuscripts, and their online repositories are very accessible. This is roughly the current composition (skipping over singleton entries like one Poland):

France 186
Germany 126
Italy 33
England 19
Austria 12
Switz 12
Spain 12
Belgium 11
Czechia 6

The values aren't exact, but they indicate well how the corpus is currently divided. So any additional Zodiac sequences from underrepresented areas might do well to round out the geographical balance. I'm thinking specifically of areas like Czechia because the few entries we have are often good.

If you check the You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view., on the image categorization tab, you can see which manuscripts have been included already and also which ones Eggy checked but turned out to not have any images.
