@msb81 @ahunker @setriplette I just added a bit of markdown code to turn this into a checklist. As you complete tasks, check them off! 👍

I still need to work on getting the moza viz inside an html so I can include the menu, but the svg part is there.

Just leaving this here for our mapping meeting.

The sample version of this mapping work is sitting here in your sandbox.

I have just finished creating the list of people and short descriptions for Pilgrim but I am unsure how to make it appear on the website, like connect it to the link labelled Pilgrim in the search box. It is on Fetch, or whatever app you guys use.

@setriplette I am unable to find geo coordinates for the following places:

@ahunker I bet Michel Pselho is this gentleman: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Psellos isn't he @setriplette ?

setriplette commented 7 years ago

@ahunker: I'm on it. I will look in your text and I have a sneaking suspicion that some of them are people, not places. I will post my results in this topic in issues tomorrow morning.

For example, though: Pyrrha is the daughter of Pandora (she of the box), and Deucalion is Pyrrha's husband. They are myth people.

Mami is almost certainly a person; there's a famous renegade who went by that name (Arnaute Mamí, known for taking Cervantes captive). I'll take a look in the text though and make sure I'm right that they're people.

Spanish Sea = Gulf of Mexico

setriplette commented 7 years ago

Luxan is Luján, a common Spanish last name. Almost certainly referring to a person and not the city in Argentina.

setriplette commented 7 years ago

For "Roman Empire," that's a HUGE pin drop (most of Europe, North Africa, and Middle East) so we'll put our pin at Rome.

msb81 commented 7 years ago

For the places, in the resp attribute where I put my initals, do you want me to describe the cities? or no?

msb81 commented 7 years ago

@setriplette what should i search for "las indias"?

msb81 commented 7 years ago

@setriplette I have finished both moza and boba places, but couldn't find coordinates for some of them.

For Boba:

Recoletos Agustinos Indias Purgatorio Troya

For Moza:

Indias Babel

Audrey: For Mami and Xafer, drop your pin at Algiers, which was the center for north African pirate activity in the Golden Age. Those are names of renegades, and their names must be being used for the pirating spots. I'm not sure how well Lope knew person names from place names! 36.7538° N, 3.0588° E

Tarndan = Taroudant, Morocco, 30.4727° N, 8.8749° W Sisla = Mountains near Toledo. Dropping pin at Toledo 41.6639° N, 83.5552° W Luxan = Pamphilus de Luxan is just a person name (of a character). Super common last name, not in this case a place. Roman Empire = pin drop at Rome, 41.9028° N, 12.4964° E Spanish Sea = Gulf of Mexico 25.3043° N, 90.0659° W

Audrey's people: Philip of Lianho. Struck out on this one, except that Lianho appears to refer to Greece. Just say "Lope mentions this person as a famous painter" Peter Gregory. Struck out here. Someone who talks about the history of hunting? Maybe we'll find it eventually in a scholarly work on the text. Say "Lope mentions this person as an author of a history of hunting" Budeus = Guillaume Budé, 16th century French Humanist who studied ancient Greek and was associated with the court of François I Caelius the Rhodian = Lucius Coelius Antipater, 2nd century B.C. Roman historian. He did write about music, and "Rhodian" is a style of oratory. Themiserus = struck out. "Lope mentions this person as a Roman writer" Gregory Gerand = struck out "Lope mentions this person as a historian of music" Scianus = He's referring to Scianus's horse, the Equus Scianus, a mythical jewel associated with Argos that brings bad luck upon its possessor William Totan = published in 1511 an anti-Semitic treatise Jerome Manchy = this is probably Jerome de Monchy, French nobleman, but I couldn't find anything about him associated with writing or printing Michel Pselho = as Elisa said, Michael Psellos, 11th century Byzantine philosopher.

Madee: Recoletos Agustinos = the Paseo de Recoletos, a famous street in Madrid. Pin drop at Madrid 40.4168° N, 3.7038° W Indias = The Americas. We'll pin drop at Hispañola (modern day DR) because that's where Columbus arrived. 19.0019° N, 71.5724° W Purgatorio = Not on any map we'll find. This is definitely a place in the imagination Troya = Troy, the ancient city where the Iliad took place. It was real! People are still excavating the ruins. 39°57′27″N 26°14′20″E

For Moza:

Indias = The Americas Babel = Bablyon 40.6957° N, 73.3257° W

I'm calling DONE on the project for this term. Let's celebrate (and not do anything else to the site).

Huzzah!
