Designing a Digital Prosopographical Resource as a Support for the Reconstruction of Tartini's School of Nations: issues and challenges

Research on Tartini has recently gained new momentum, shifting its focus towards the reconstruction of the School of Nations in the context of patronage, the use and reception of Tartini’s didactic materials, the transmission of music through printers and copyists. A planned digital prosopographical resource includes biographical data of students, their musical works, and digital editions of Tartini’s compositions and pedagogical writings. It utilizes linked open data to analyze students’ careers, compare musical genres and compositional patterns, and map the transmission of musical knowledge in a pan-European context.
