This repository contains the CMIF-encoded (Correspondence Metadata Interchange Format) digital correspondence list (letters.xml) of the edition "Politische Korrespondenz des Herzogs und Kurfürsten Moritz von Sachsen", a finished project of the Saxon Academy of Sciences and Humanities in Leipzig.
Since volume 3 the edition contains additional letters (following a main letter, the additional block is seperated by a horizontal line), which are not numbered in the printed version. Those letters are also included in the digital correspondence list and numbered respectively, by using the number of the according main letter and adding a suffix "a" and an increasing number according to the appearance of the letter in the subsection, e.g. letter 18 of volume 3 is followed by a subsection with three further letters (without number). Now, the first, second and third one are numbered like 18a1, 18a2 and 18a3.
The CMIF-XML was generated from a table of letters (letters.csv) with the tool csv2cmi. According metadata is in csv2cmi.ini. For management of authority identifiers (GND, Geonames) for entities (persons, places, organisations) within the CSV we used the tool ba[sic?].
Letters metadata are harvested by the webservice correspSearch and can be browsed, searched and received via browser or REST-API.
