- Description
- eng The Epigraphic Text Database is the heart of EDH and contains about 82.000 inscriptions. Almost all of the records present texts, which have already either been edited in the monumental Inscription corpora – in many cases still valid, but often do not fulfill the standards of modern textual editorial practice – or published, revised and discussed in thousands of scholarly articles. The texts and metadata of the inscriptions are thus presented on the basis of up to date scholarly research. One of the basic principles of the working method of EDH has been that readings have been not simply accepted from the editions and secondary literature. As much as possible these readings were verified at least on the basis of drawings or photographs – in the case of the latter these belong to the records of the Photographic Database – or ideally through autopsy; by means of the "status field" the user of the database is informed about the manner of verification of the readings.
