How to identify a manuscript? Shelfmark, of course
• Pro• Convey historical information about the manuscript
• Città del Vaticano, BAV, Palat. gr. 26• Usual scholarly usage, with high variability
• Città del Vaticano, BAV, Palat. gr. 26 / Pal. gr. 26 / Palatinus gr. 26, etc.
• Contra• Not adapted for online usage• Not adapted for link-data• Many possible confusion (ancient shelfmarks, catalogues’ numbers, other
inventories, etc.)• Moskva : Государственный Исторический Музей (ГИМ) / Gosudarstvennyj Istoričeskij
Musej (GIM) / Musée historique national :• gr. 91 : Sinod. gr. 91 (Vladimir 80) / Sinod. gr. 47 (Vladimir 91)• Mosquensis gr. 91 ; Mosquensis synod. gr. 91

1. Diktyon and Greek manuscripts• Since 2013• Network of databases dealing with Greek Manuscripts:
• Commentaria in Aristotelem Graeca et Byzantina• Database of Byzantine Book Epigrams• Greek Manuscripts in Sweden• NTVMR via Paratextbib• Manoscritti greci d’Italia• Etc.
• Simple, unique identifiers for manuscripts identified by shelfmarks• Register of Greek manuscripts: Pinakes (http://pinakes.irht.cnrs.fr)• Insertion of ids in the other databases, and creation of automatic
links; usage in paper publications

Unique, stable, numeric mss. identifiers
• A unique id for a manuscript: numeric, without signification, machine and human readable, together with an ark.
• Use shelfmark to identify a given manuscript.• Build a database working as a register for all manuscripts.• Core-team: Western European libraries and researcher, medieval
manuscripts, Mediterranean and European area. Need to open to other areas, languages, type of manuscripts, etc.
• Aggregation of links, as much as possible (given by libraries and research institutions; then, harvesting).
