Please notice: This is a early-stage prototype of the edition's website. It's still under heavy construction and we apologize for buggy behaviour.
Abu Bakr Jamāl al-Dīn Muḥammad ibn Shams al-Dīn Muḥammad ibn Sharaf al-Dīn Muḥammad ibn al-Ḥasan ibn Ṣāliḥ ibn Yaḥyā ibn Ṭāhir ibn Muḥammad ibn al-Khaṭīb ʿAbd al-Raḥīm ibn Nubāta, better known simply as Ibn Nubāta (April 1287 – October 14, 1366) was an Arab poet of the Mamluk period. Best known for his poetry, he also wrote prose.
Please read about the principles we follow in our effort to making this scholarly edition of the works of Ibn Nubatah.
The Diwan––Ibn Nubatah's main work––is edited not en bloc, but instead every poem has its own document. This way, we were able to collate the poems over the four different textual traditions (recensions) of the Diwan.
The collation of a poem and the variation over the recensions will be made visible in a parallel presentation soon.
This website makes the works of Ibn Nubatah accessible in different ways:
If you want to learn about the structure of the works of Ibn Nubatah, you can navigate through the edition.
By navigation you'll be able to explore, which works there are, how there are grouped, and of course access and read the contents.
The facetted search form enables you to explore the edition tightly focused on word usage and phrases.
The facets also allow to explore the edition similar to navigation by narrowing down the search results to a specific work, genre, etc., or to certain subjects, like persons or places mentioned in a text.
Technically more advanced users may also want to explore the edition by digital methods and therefore like to access it through an API.
If the queries that you get out of the search form are not fine grained enough for your needs, you can file your own search requests to out search API.
https://editions-pilot.scdh.uni-muenster.de/solr/alea-ibn-nubatah
It is a Apache Solr search engine.
You can download a RDF knowledge graph of the edition, which consists right now essentially of FRBRized metadata.
We are using this graph to generate downstream datasets, e.g., the data for indexing on the search engine or the dataset of Text API and DTS.
The formal correctness of the edition's document is checked continuously in our git's CI pipeline. Editors can find a human readable report here. Documents with failures will not make it on the website.
Note, that the linked report has been made at the time of the deployment of the data to the production site. The current state of the files in the git repository may differ. The deployed dataset is just a part of the tested files, which has undergone the editorial quality checks.
