ah, that's really pretty neat. I have a colleague trying to do something a little bit similar with an ancient Tibetan text, but her main conceptual questions are:
- what do you do with imaginary places?
- is there a way to represent both the geography we now accept as real, and the relationships between places described in the text?
- how do you use a timeline to map out temporal relationships that are not given precisely in your text?
Or, anyway, that's approximately it. Have you thought of any of these types of questions? any answers?
I'll see if I can get her to subscribe to the list and posethese question herself, I'm sure she'd do a much better job.
Again, thanks much!
