 EldEdd-1908-219-01 Excerpt from an early print book review (1908): "Each poem is prefaced by two designs by Professor Collingwood. These at their best leave little to be desired. Several of them e.g. Graybeard and Thor, are altogether admirable. Others are valuable both from the artistic and the antiquarian standpoint, as the artist has woven into them motives from Pre-Norman crosses or hogbacks illustrating Eddaic subjects...." pg. 494. Full text of the review. Folklore Vol. 19, No. 4 (Dec. 30, 1908), pp. 493-496. Excerpt from an early print book review (1909): "The text is accompanied by thirty-three excellent illustrations, which have the comparatively rare merit of really helping the reader to vizualize [sic]the action and of suggesting the atmosphere of the poems." pg 97.

This illustration by W.G. Collingwood is from Olive Bray's translation of the Poetic Edda that was published in a dual language edition in 1908 as The Elder or Poetic Edda: Commonly Known As Sæmund's Edda. This scene is from the poem Völuspá En Skamma in the Viking Society's reprint of Olive Bray's dual language edition of The Elder Edda (1908). W. G. Collingwood's illustration depicts the last verse: There shall come hereafter another mightier whose name I dare not now make known: few there are who may see beyond when Odin fares to fight with the Wolf.

This illustration was created by W. G. Collingwood. in London, circa 1908 for the Viking Press edition of The Elder or Poetic Edda: Commonly Known As Sæmund's Edda.

This illustration is from The Elder or Poetic Edda: Commonly Known As Sæmund's Edda from the collection of P. A. Baer.

The digital image repository, MyNDIR, began as part of P. A. Baer's Ph.D. project An Old Norse Image Hoard: From the Analog Past to the Digital Present. The original prototype for a digital image repository and web page featured illustrations of Old Norse gods and heroes from manuscripts and early print sources. The website was launched on June 6, 2013 with one hundred and one illustrations.

In the fall of 2018, MyNDIR became part of the Endings Project in the Humanities Computing and Media Centre at the University of Victoria. The purpose of the project is to archive websites by creating a static version of a site that can be used independent of the internet.

I initially used a Roma Schema with the modules: core, tei, header, textstructure, msdescription, namesdates, certainty, figures, transcr and linking.

All proper nouns for the metadata for the illustrations are marked up with TEI P5 by using: <gi>persName</gi> for beings such as gods, giants, humans, authors, illustrators etc. and <gi>name</gi> for animals, monsters, and artifacts. The <att>xml:id</att>s for proper nouns are always mixed case abbreviations that begin with a capital. The <gi>list</gi> elements always have <att>type</att> and usually have <att>subtype</att> as well. All other TEI tags such as: <placeName/> for places, <orgName/> for archives, and <person/> were used in the manner demonstrated by the TEI P5 guidelines. I use the <att>xml:lang</att> for all of these elements. The keyword items for all proper nouns are linked to further descriptive data in a Names directory (names.xml).

Keyword items consisting of simple nouns, are marked up as <gi>term</gi> to correspond to names of artifacts, animals, and monsters, e.g. Megingjörð = belt, Sleipnir = horse, Jörmungandr = serpent. The keyword items for all simple nouns are also entered in the names.xml file. The <att>xml:id</att>s for simple nouns are not abbreviated, always begin in lower case, are always in English, and are camel back when consisting of more than one word.

The critical approach for the selection of illustrations is focused through the theoretical lens of Material Philology which considers books and their material details, such as covers and illustrations, as cultural artifacts. This selection criteria results in a repository of images that is capable of revealing aspects of book history, culture, and production that the words of the texts alone cannot provide. Consequently, iterations of illustrations with minimal differences are not only included but valued for their research potential, e.g., illustrations from the first and second editions of Kongesagaer.

Old Norse orthography was the preferred representation for all names; however the English orthography was supplied in the keywords for Þōrr for Thor. Old Norse, English and other spellings were recorded in the names.xml file.

The spelling conventions for Old Norse conform to the practice established in An Icelandic-English Dictionary Cleasby,Richard and Vigfússon,Guðbrandur Clarendon Press Oxford 1957 , i.e., the stem of the name plus its nominative marker.
