Search
This search engine searches through the index of 16th century manuscripts and prints, that was created with SPARQL query on RISM dataset (QUERIES -> Get index of 16th sources with dimensions). Search in actual dimensions (height or/and width) with given tolerance, filter data based on orientation of the source, or search through standardized dimensions ([w]x[h] in centimeters, eg. 21.1x28). Last search will also return generalized sized, eg. in-8, in-4obl. or in-fol.

Queries
Queries presented below are the exact SPARQL requests that were used to get the data for search and generating charts. They are adjusted specifically to the RDF dataset published by RISM Digital Center.

Charts
Sizes of 16th-century manuscripts and prints
The chart below presents the distribution of the sizes of manuscripts and prints in 16th century, based on the RISM data, fetched with use of SPARQL query on RDF set published by RISM Digital Center (see QUERIES -> Query counting the occurances of particular dimensions). Whenever it was possible, dimensions were separated into height and width, converted to centimeters and rounded to integers. Based on height and width proportions, orientation was established. In the chart, sources in landscape orientation are presented in yellow, sources in portrait orientation are green. If orientation was unclear, the bar was colored grey. Settings below the chart allow to filter graphic result by number of occurences and orientation, as well as sort the results by label (alphabetically), or by the number of occurences (in descending order). TOTAL parameter counts all defined sizes displayed on the chart.
Orientation of 16th-century manuscripts and prints
The piechart below presents the distribution of orientations in 16th-century manuscripts and prints in three categories: landscape, portrait, and undefined.
About
SIZE MATTERS is a project focused on dimensions of 16th-century music manuscripts and prints. As a data source it uses RISM RDF dataset, that can be searched through with use of SPARQL query language.
SIZE MATTERS is a micro research project (STSM, Short Term Scientific Mission) within Cost Action CA21161 - A new ecosystem of early music studies (EarlyMuse).Cost Action CA21161 - A new ecosystem of early music studies (EarlyMuse).
