Nomisma.org is a collaborative effort to provide stable digital representations of numismatic concepts and entities, for example the generic idea of a coin hoard or an actual hoard as documented in the print publication An Inventory of Greek Coin Hoards (IGCH). Nomisma.org provides a short, often recognizable, URI for each resource it defines and presents the related information in both human and machine readable form. Creators of digital content can use these stable URIs to build a web of linked knowledge that enables faster acquisition and analysis of well-structured numismatic data.

The Muggletonians, named after Lodowicke Muggleton, were a small Protestant Christian movement which began in 1651 when two London tailors announced they were the last prophets foretold in the biblical Book of Revelation. The group grew out of the Ranters and in opposition to the Quakers. Muggletonian beliefs include a hostility to philosophical reason, a scriptural understanding of how the universe works and a belief that God appeared directly on this earth as Christ Jesus. A consequential belief is that God takes no notice of everyday events on earth and will not generally intervene until it is mete to bring the world to an end.

Funded by a research grant from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation – one of the largest awarded recently to the University of Oxford’s Humanities Division – Cultures of Knowledge is an interdisciplinary group of scholars working with partners in Britain and abroad to reconstruct the correspondence networks central to the revolutionary intellectual developments of the seventeenth century

This project’s aim is to bring together these complementary fragments in a resource that will enable an integrative reading of the evidence. The Corpus of British Medieval Library Catalogues, a major project to publish the medieval catalogues of British libraries, is now within sight of completion. As a complement to this, it is necessary also to update the standard research tool that records extant manuscripts according to evidence of their medieval library provenance, Neil Ker’s Medieval Libraries of Great Britain (1941) [MLGB]; revised and augmented in 1964 [MLGB2]. The opportunity exists to integrate these two strands in a single innovative digital resource. Completion of both strands will take several years, but thanks to generous funding from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, Professor Richard Sharpe, Dr James Willoughby and a team from Library Services are working on a pilot project on creating an electronic edition of the Medieval Libraries of Great Britain.
