Submitting Comments

There are a few ways to post your comments on the manuscripts and their descriptions. You can:

(1) comment on a specific element in the description (such as "Title" or "Place/Date of Production")

(2) comment on the entire description with assigning your comment to a particular element.

Be sure to leave your name and email with your comment.

Find more on definitions for each of the descriptive elements here.

(1) Leave a comment on a descriptive element or "paragraph"

You will notice that the description for each manuscript is broken down into data elements, each with a particular label. On our site, this label and the information associated with it is called a "paragraph."

In the image below, "Shelfmark", "Title," "Author," and "Place/Date of Production" are all paragraphs and can be commented upon.

If you notice that the information under a certain label/paragraph is inaccurate, incomplete, or simply missing, you can supply the correct or missing information in a comment on that label/paragraph.

To submit your comment, click on the small talk-bubble paragraph iconicon to the right of the label/paragraph, enter your comment in the text box that appears, and click "Add comment."

(2) Leave a comment on the entire manuscript description

If you have information to contribute but are not sure under which label/paragraph it fits, simply click on the page with talk-bubble wholepage icon icon to the right of the description's heading or click on whole page in the Comments Overview box. You can then enter your comment in the text box and submit as described above.
