Sources? #1164

@dlschwartz do we need a browse for sources? There is one currently, also, without it there is no way to link to the sources, should we add a link into the factoid or aggrigate pages?

@wsalesky I probably should have raised this when I was making issues. My thinking on this has evolved and I'm waffling a bit on how to navigate this. I certainly don't want to emphasize the single source approach to factoids. Factoids from a single source aren't much more than a peculiar kind of index of that source. We enter the world of prosopography when we aggregate factoids from multiple sources.

That said, I think it's reasonable to offer this feature. Similar to what we have now, let's allow users to select the from a list of the title elements with a level="m". In files that come from a series of documents (letter collection, hagiography collection) this will appear in the seriesStmt, for example: https://github.com/srophe/draft-data/blob/master/data/spear/SPEAR_updates/tei/3004.xml#L46 and https://github.com/srophe/draft-data/blob/master/data/spear/SPEAR_updates/tei/832.xml#L93

In works that stand alone, the only series they are part of is all of SPEAR and they take a seriesStmt, title level="s": https://github.com/srophe/draft-data/blob/master/data/spear/SPEAR_updates/tei/8559.xml#L34.

For these files (currently only the Chronicle of Edessa) we only find a title level="m" in the titleStmt: https://github.com/srophe/draft-data/blob/master/data/spear/SPEAR_updates/tei/8559.xml#L8.

Thanks Winona.
