Structure

The structure of the document records

Documents, such as codices or books are recorded in the database as entries with many branches. Similar to architectural monuments whose limbs comprise dependent Children entries, documents are represented by means of a hierarchical tree structure.

The single folios are subordinate to the codex, which is a Father entry. The folios, in turn, can also have Children entries, e.g., the single Quadrants of a folio.
Printed works as Father entries can have many Child levels. E.g., chapters can be subordinated under single books, pages under chapters, and lines under pages.


Document Simple search – Searching for Renaissance documents

		By clicking the term Post-Antique Documents on the starting page you initiate the Document Simple search. You can browse for documents using the name search box. In the Document Simple search Father and Children entries are always taken into account. At the beginning of the search the total records of Renaissance documents appear underneath the three navigational boxes.
		The documents with dependent Children are specified with a [+]. By clicking on this sign the next respective underlying level will be opened, which, in turn, can contain further Children entries.
