This is a Distant Reader "study carrel", a set of structured data intended to help the student, researcher, or scholar use & understand a corpus.
This study carrel was created on 2021-05-24 by Eric Morgan <emorgan@nd.edu>. The carrel was created using the Distant Reader zip2carrel process, and the input was a Zip file locally cached with the name input-file.zip. Documents in the Zip file have been saved in a cache, and each of them have been transformed & saved as a set of plain text files. All of the analysis -- "reading" -- has been done against these plain text files. For example, a short narrative report has been created. This Web page is a more verbose version of that report.
All study carrels are self-contained -- no Internet connection is necessary to use them. Download this carrel for offline reading. The carrel is made up of many subdirectories and data files. The manifest describes each one in greater detail.
There are 27 item(s) in this carrel, and this carrel is 346,631 words long. Each item in your study carrel is, on average, 12,838 words long. If you dig deeper, then you might want to save yourself some time by reading a shorter item. On the other hand, if your desire is for more detail, then you might consider reading a longer item. The following charts illustrate the overall size of the carrel.
On a scale from 0 to 100, where 0 is very difficult and 100 is very easy, the documents have an average readability score of 92. Consequently, if you want to read something more simplistic, then consider a document with a higher score. If you want something more specialized, then consider something with a lower score. The following charts illustrate the overall readability of the carrel.
By merely counting & tabulating the frequency of individual words or phrases, you can begin to get an understanding of the carrel's "aboutness". Excluding "stop words", some of the more frequent words include:
god, will, christ, vpon, one, haue, shall, vnto, now, iewes, holy, made, world, man, first, men, great, text, king, come, make, may, yet, gods, many, might, chap, old, yeares, death, must, tcp, vp, earth, name, place, much, rome, new, good, vs, lord, hee, moses, law, day, time, bee, like, shal
Using the three most frequent words, the three files containing all of those words the most are A reuelation of the holy Apocalyps. By Hugh Broughton.., Iob To the King. A Colon-Agrippina studie of one moneth, for the metricall translation: but of many yeres for Ebrew difficulties. By Hugh Broughton., and A require of agreement to the groundes of divinitie studie wherin great scholers falling, & being caught of Iewes disgrace the Gospel: & trap them to destruction. By H.B..
The most frequent two-word phrases (bigrams) include:
early english, english books, books online, new testament, page images, creation partnership, text creation, god will, represented either, tcp schema, characters represented, image sets, holy ghost, old testament, hugh broughton, might haue, let vs, will make, aben ezra, shall come, saint paul, lords prayer, line read, gods word, set vp, will never, second death, now take, bring christ, one copy, early works, later edition, tcp aimed, creative commons, characters marked, sdata character, asking permission, respectfully request, public domain, produce large, financial support, proquest page, due credit, encoded text, project restraints, commercial purposes, title published, external keying, xml conversion, tcp project
And the three file that use all of the three most frequent phrases are Two little workes defensiue of our redemption that our Lord went through the veile of his flesh into heaven, to appeare before God for vs. Which iourney a Talmudist, as the Gospell, would terme, a going vp to Paradise: but heathen Greeke, a going downe to Hades, and Latin, descendere ad inferos. Wherein the vnlearned barbarous, anger God and man, saying, that Iesus descended to Hell: and yeelde vnto the blasphemous Iewes by sure consequence vpon their words, that he should not be the Holy one of God. By Hugh Broughton. The familie of David for the sonnes of the kingdome, vvith a chronicle vnto the redemtion [sic]., and Tvvo epistles vnto great men of Britanie, in the yeare 1599 Requesting them to put their neckes unto the work of theyr Lord: to break the bread of the soule unto the hungry Iewes, by theyr writinges, or by theyr charges, through such as be ready to declare all that theyr necessity doth require. Printed now the second time, in the yeare synce the creation of the world 5532. Or yeare of the Lord 1606. Translated by the auctour for the use of such as would & should know what in this cause ought to be performed..
While often deemed superficial or sophomoric, rudimentary frequencies and their associated "word clouds" can be quite insightful:
Sets of keywords -- statistically significant words -- can be enumerated by comparing the relative frequency of words with the number of times the words appear in an entire corpus. Some of the most statistically significant keywords in the carrel include:
tcp, god, iewes, lord, christ, king, early, testament, law, hades, gospell, eternall, ebrew, bible, temple, new, moses, messias, man, lxx, kingdome, greeke, gods, english, dan, church, west, vpon, thou, theyr, thee, thalmud, tei, sonne, sheol, rome, rock, rabbines, puissant, psal, pope, peter, paul, omnipotent, luke, locusts, latin, lamentations, lambe, koheleth
And now word clouds really begin to shine:
Topic modeling is another popular approach to connoting the aboutness of a corpus. If the study carrel could be summed up in a single word, then that word might be god, and A reuelation of the holy Apocalyps. By Hugh Broughton.. is most about that word.
If the study carrel could be summed up in three words ("topics") then those words and their significantly associated titles include:
If the study carrel could be summed up in five topics, and each topic were each denoted with three words, then those topics and their most significantly associated files would be:
Moreover, the totality of the study carrel's aboutness, can be visualized with the following pie chart:
Through an analysis of your study carrel's parts-of-speech, you are able to answer question beyonds aboutness. For example, a list of the most frequent nouns helps you answer what questions; "What is discussed in this collection?":
world, men, man, death, yeares, text, earth, name, place, time, day, matter, hath, life, speach, yeres, none, vpon, soule, dayes, house, sonne, light, soules, word, tongue, shal, people, nothing, texts, blood, others, hand, end, king, heauen, faith, religion, fathers, scripture, names, hee, kings, kingdome, characters, vvorld, sonnes, ▪, state, work
An enumeration of the verbs helps you learn what actions take place in a text or what the things in the text do. Very frequently, the most common lemmatized verbs are "be", "have", and "do"; the more interesting verbs usually occur further down the list of frequencies:
is, be, was, are, were, had, have, made, come, make, haue, say, see, called, did, know, being, vnto, teach, came, taught, learned, take, told, bee, let, bring, hath, set, tell, brought, do, vpon, read, shewed, sent, went, am, speak, shew, saw, knew, cast, been, encoded, hold, meant, heard, vsed, taken
An extraction of proper nouns helps you determine the names of people and places in your study carrel.
〉, 〈, ◊, god, christ, iewes, thou, s., chap, hath, tcp, gods, rome, haue, lord, king, moses, greeke, pope, ebrew, law, holy, daniel, heathen, popes, bible, paul, gospell, testament, d., ierusalem, iob, vp, iohn, m., church, temple, dan, adam, abraham, english, messias, israel, greek, babel, new, gen., text, eternall, heaven
An analysis of personal pronouns enables you to answer at least two questions: 1) "What, if any, is the overall gender of my study carrel?", and 2) "To what degree are the texts in my study carrel self-centered versus inclusive?"
his, he, i, they, it, him, their, our, them, my, me, you, your, we, thy, her, thee, himself, she, us, vp, themselves, †, one, ours, theirs, mine, ye, elias, yours, vnto, yf, yee, trye, pe, yow, vvith, hel, yourself, wh, vs, trimarchiâ, tottereth, testimonie, tbeir, satā, non, ne, iu, iochim
Below are words cloud of your study carrel's proper & personal pronouns.
Learning about a corpus's adjectives and adverbs helps you answer how questions: "How are things described and how are things done?" An analysis of adjectives and adverbs also points to a corpus's overall sentiment. "In general, is my study carrel positive or negative?"
great, other, many, old, first, such, holy, good, same, wicked, much, true, high, new, more, full, last, second, telleth, early, whole, dead, better, common, english, most, right, open, third, former, best, sure, haue, own, wise, available, short, general, plaine, large, greater, strange, perfect, long, noble, golden, plain, next, rare, white
not, so, then, now, most, thus, also, out, more, here, therefore, †, never, yet, there, ever, still, well, first, as, only, away, much, very, vpon, onely, hence, all, often, off, even, once, better, vs, forth, that, no, is, long, far, in, further, shal, otherwise, together, over, online, heere, too, specially
There is much more to a study carrel than the things outlined above. Use this page's menubar to navigate and explore in more detail. There you will find additional features & functions including: ngrams, parts-of-speech, grammars, named entities, topic modeling, a simple search interface, etc.
