ISMI - History
• started as an Access database nearly 20 years ago• rigid structure, no relaton between fields• Persons and places not always unique• Local soluton
• However: being a digital database already, it can be converted into something more usable

ISMI - Asking questions
• Who could have studied the text?• Where and when did copies of the text exist?• Who copied the text, when and where?• Which other texts are related to this text
(commentary, copies)?• Understand the network of knowledge represented
by the manuscripts.
