2. October 1391, Consilium maius:

3. December 5, 1392, Consilium rogatorum:

=== XQuery exercises and examples === - Find all records of the Consilium minus sessions, order them chronologically. - Find a specific session of the Consilium rogatorum. - How many meetings of the Consilium maius were held in January 1391? ==== Section titles ==== The divs for years, months, and days mostly have titles, usually bearing the date of the session, sometimes also the number of councillors present etc. The titles are encoded with ''head'' element, and dates with ''date''. We have introduced such elements even where titles are absent, using them to hold empty ''date'' and ''ref/@ana="rector"'' elements, referring respectively to dates and rectors on duty. A fully written out title is encoded like this:


Die XXVIII novembris 1392. 
In maiori consilio ballote LXXXV.

This is how implied information is made explicit in a title (and implicit in encoding):

In titles of months we are adding the (implied) rector's ID as well:

=== XQuery exercises and examples === - Return all headings with text, ordered alphabetically. - Return all meetings which record the number of voters present. Order the meetings by the number of voters. Alternatively, order them chronologically. - Return all heads of meetings ordered by rector's ID. - Return all meetings with the ID of a specific rector. ==== Item titles (themes) ==== During a single session, one or more items were discussed; for the sake of orientation, chancellors presented items as titles, sometimes as marginal notes. The titles in text are marked as ''p'' elements with ''@ana'' attributes whose value is //thema//:


De doanis vendendis

However, sometimes the themes were noted in margins; this is marked as a ''note'' inside the ''p'' element:




Pro ser Marino de Bucignolo pro partibus Stagni

=== XQuery exercises and examples === - Find only the themes written in margins, order them alphabetically. - Display only the paragraphs with themes, but show the dates of sessions as well. ==== Candidate lists ==== Lists of candidates for offices are wrapped in a ''list'' element, with a special ''head/@ana="thema"'' heading. In case of elections for the next month's rector, the ''item'' containing the future rector's name has a special ''@ana="rector-futurus"'' attribute. Voting for rector is of potential interest, because sometimes such elections had to go through several rounds of casting votes. Identifying people involved in such situations could offer a starting point for studying power relations in 1390's Dubrovnik.

===== Names ===== Using the Index nominum, we have created a small [[https://bitbucket.org/nevenjovanovic/dbk-ref/src/b4bf69e17887c4486f136b5f5c73bb85e400c5a4/dbk1390-92idx.xml?at=default|prosopography file]] where every individual has a unique ''@xml:id'' attribute. The value of this attribute is then used as value of the ''ref'' attribute (appearing in ''persName'' elements), or of the ''target'' attribute in the ''ref'' element (see above the case of implied rectors), in the main Reformationes XML file. For example:



 Gondula (Gondulla) Benedictus 68, 179

(References to pages of the print editions have been kept, just in case.) In the main file:


Ser Matheus Syme de Benessa et 
ser Benedictus de Gondulla 
camerarii comunis Ragusii fuerunt confessi recepisse a 
ser Aluisio de Goçe 
pro parte solucionis dicti salis quod ipse cum fratribus receperunt 
in credenciam perperos 
septemcentum et triginta.

Names of places have not been encoded yet! (Should probably use URNs...) ==== XQuery exercises and examples ==== - Produce an enhanced Index nominum, enabling us to follow individuals over time and sessions, rather than over pages of the printed edition (as is the case with the existing index). - Find constellations -- people mentioned together in the same sessions. - Find all rectors in the text. - Study candidates for offices. ===== Measures and values ===== ==== Votes ==== Number of votes cast (the voting outcome) is marked by a ''measure'' element with the attribute ''@type="vota"'' and ''@unit="balota"'' (votes are called "balotae" in the original Latin text). The ''measure'' element envelops the whole sentence (or clause) which records the voting outcome. Inside the ''measure'' element, the number is marked by ''num'' element with the ''value'' attribute giving the number in Arabic numerals. Example from the main file:



captum fuit per
VIII
ballotas

==== Money ==== Money values recorded are marked as ''measure'' elements (ideally, with ''@type="summa"'' attribute) with ''@unit'' attribute, which at the moment contains five currency types: ''ducat, perper, soldus, folar, grossus''. If the currency is abbreviated, the abbreviation is marked by the ''abbr'' element. The number is (ideally) marked by ''num'' with ''@value'' attribute (and values in Arabic numerals). Examples from the main file:


yperperorum
decem



uno grosso cum dimidio



grossorum
XII



  duc.
  XXX

==== Weights ==== At the moment, only weights (in libres) are encoded, using the ''measure'' element with ''@type="libra"'' attribute, and the amount recorded given as value of the ''@quantity'' attribute. When the record mentions one libre, it does not usually use numerals; we express them as ''@quantity="1"'' attribute of the ''measure'' element. Numbers are marked as above. Example from the main file:



usque ad libras
VC


libra
