Project:Monasticon Hibernicum database/Persons

Where possible, an attempt will be made to reconcile the data under 'Documented association' and 'Traditional association' with authority records for saints.

Preliminary

A fundamental question to be answered is this: in what direction should the property go that links saints and the places associated with them? In other words, should records for ecclesiastical sites associate them with records for saints, as in MonHib, or should it be the other way around? At present, given the material we're working with, it may be best to stick with the former (so that saints are on the receiving end), but the question will no doubt be raised again.

The source data

OpenRefine's text facet has been used to generate a preliminary list of unique values. See below for an example.

Types of saints

• The traditional assumption is that the association is always with a saint.
• Most references are to specific saints' names. Many of these can be reconciled, with a reasonable degree of confidence, with known saints.
• There is a sizable minority (?) if not majority, however, for which the question of identity is not as clearcut:
  • saints that are named but whose names are not readily 'reconcilable', potentially complicated by developments in the histories of saints' cults (e.g. localisation, adoption, etc.).
  • unnamed persons such as bishops (epscop, Eps, nóeb-eps, etc.), ailithir (pilgrims), "foreign clerics", etc.
• There are saints, both named and anonymous, who are notable, at least in part, by virtue of having a familial relationship with a better known saint. This is probably particularly the case with the anonymous 'sons' or 'daughters' of named saints. It might be helpful to introduce an additional property like '(has) secondary association'.
• There may be groups of saints, often brothers and sisters, who are notable as a group or collective and much less as individuals. It might make sense for some of them to link to 'collective records' in addition to records for individual saints. See also 'secondary associations' above.

Formatting

Structure

• The semi-colon has been used as the primary value separator.
• Both the comma and the ampersand appear to have been used to group together related figures, although both types of punctuation have been used for other purposes, too.
  • Automated separation is not recommended. Take, for example, "Beccán, Collán & Cocán ss of Diarmait".
• Forward slashes are primarily used to separate spelling and name variants, e.g. Colmán/Colum.
• Question mark - ?/(?). Question marks are used throughout to indicate uncertainties of identification, or uncertainties relating to specific aspects of a saint's identity.

Names

• Preference is given to the Old Irish form of the name.
• Otherwise, little attempt has been made to apply consistency.
• Abbreviations are used for familial relationships, e.g. m./m, s./s of, ss/ss. of, ing., d/d. of, ds of, ds.o,, srs, brs, etc. (when in doubt, there is a list of abbreviations on the website)

Other

• Titles, offices and occupations appear occasionally, e.g. eps/epscop, abb, cruimthir, virgo/virgines, ailithir, nóeb.
• Various 'flags' and minor notes may occur
  • e.g. 'Sillán? - if same as Celleps.Silláin (Price 1945-67,)'
  • Sources are sometimes indicated, usually between brackets, especially if their information is peculiar or not widely shared, e.g. Mart.O, LL. More detail is usually left to other columns.

Strategies

The matter of saints and their identities is a convoluted one which cannot be always be settled one way or the other. Saints can become localised versions, collated with other identities, transformed to suit the agenda of new relationships of power and authority within the church, etc.

Create authority records

Authority records must be available before reconciling can begin. The creation of these records are part of a separate project (Project:Saints/Ireland).

The existence of an authority record itself should not be taken to imply stability and distinctness of identity. For instance, it does not rule out the possibility of there being saints of the same name and origin that have evolved into relatively distinct characters. (As a convenient starting point, records may apply 'Ó Riain's razor', but there may be room left for finer distinctions.)

Prepare the spreadsheet

• Variation in spelling (e.g. Bronach, Brónach) will need to be ironed out manually.
• Same for many other kinds of inconsistencies

Reconciliation

What to do with explicit uncertainties (question marks, maybe the rounded brackets).

• Use the property qualifier 'Has confidence level', with reasonable or uncertain as values.

What to do with saints known by name but impossible to identify securely? Possible suggestions:

• It may useful to have certain 'blanket' entries, e.g. 'Áed (non-specific)' for any other person known by that name, or perhaps 'Áed (non-specific saint)' to narrow things down to saints only.
• And/Or use property for name groups (see below)

What to do with unnamed saints?

• The description (e.g. '7 ailithir') should remain available.
• Unnamed does not necessarily mean unidentifiable. For instance, the 'Seven Sleepers of Ephesus' (if that equals 'unnamed') are identifiable as a distinct group even if their individual names may vary and are not always mentioned.
• Unnamed and unidentifiable? Again, a miscellaneous group 'unidentified saint(s)' could help for reconciliation. Because you cannot query for non-existing values, it is worth linking to something at all times.

Should there be a property to link to 'name groups'?

• Like the Saints in Scottish placenames database, we will use instances of 'nonspecific group', e.g. Colmán/Colum.
