This repository is a sandbox in which to prototype tools for cleanup, transformation, and validation of data curated by editors of DIMEV: An Open Access, Digital Edition of the Index of Middle English Verse. Researchers interested in Middle English verse should consult https://www.dimev.net/, not this repository, as the XML source files in this repository are a snapshot and will not be updated. They are for testing only. Commentary is welcome.
The repository also hosts source files for an experimental new DIMEV website, build with Jekyll and hosted by GitHub Pages. All this is very much work in progress. An inspiration is Andrew Dunning's prototype for a digital edition of Richard Sharpe, A Handlist of Latin Writers of Great Britain and Ireland Before 1540.
