More glyph group numbers

I have now added glyph group number display throughout the corpus site. At the same time, I have chosen to adopt a more consistent approach to displaying the numbers:

As seen in the above example, the snippet on the left is labelled using the site-specific “glyph ids”. Glyph ids have the line identifier followed by a hyphen and a 3 digit zero-padded number.

The snippet on the right is labelled using Horley-style glyph group numbers. Glyph group numbers are shown with the line identifier followed by a colon, and the numbers which are generally one or two digits—only rarely three digits. These numbers are shown without any “zero-padding”.

As of now the glyph group numbers are a display option throughout the website:

  • On the standard line-wise display of the corpus items
  • On the corresponding display with wrapped lines
  • In the glyph index, as a display option
  • In the new glyph list, as a display option
  • In the snippet viewer:
    • Glyph group numbers are displayed below the codes
    • Glyph group numbers are an option for choosing snippets
    • If the glyph group number option is chosen, the range is displayed as a glyph group number range, as illustrated in the example above
  • On the results of glyph searches in context

Glyph index results with glyph group numbers

Up until now the glyph index showed all glyphs with the id number used to uniquely identify them in the corpus. I have now added an option to show Horley’s glyph group numbers instead. Below is an example of what results look like when this option is chosen.

More glyph group numberings

I have now added similar glyph group numberings for the tablets I, J, K, L, M and N. These numbers make it much easier to line up the drawings from Barthel and Fischer with those of Horley. This is particularly apparent in the case of tablets like M with extensive illegible sections.

Along with the numbers, lines and sides have been renamed or renumbered to match Horley’s insights.

  • For J and L the inscribed side is renamed “verso”
  • N has been changed from a/b to r/v
  • For M the line previously designated as Line 9 has been renamed Line 10 and turned upside-down, reversing the order for the 4 glyphs recognized.
