Medieval Reception of the Roman Conquest of Jerusalem

• Simple mode: Search for a single word e.g. Jerusalem or .*rusalem
• Lemma: pes shows all forms of the word like 'pes', 'pedibus' etc.
• Corpus Query Language (CQL):
  • Search by word form: q[word="Jerusalem"]
    Finds exact word "Jerusalem"
  • Search by lemma (root form): q[lemma="cedo"]
    Finds "cessit", "cedentes", "cediderunt" etc.
  • Combine with wildcards: q[word="indulg.*"]
    Finds words starting with "indulg"
  • Multiple options (OR): q[word="populus|civitatem"]
    Finds "populus" OR "civitatem"
• Phrase: reliqua pedibus suis .

Using Wildcards

• . (dot) = matches any single character
  Example: .erusalem matches "Jerusalem" or "Ierusalem"
• .* (dot-asterisk) = matches any number of characters (including zero)
  Example: .*erusalem matches "Jerusalem", "Hierusalem", "Ierusalem"
• .? (dot-question) = matches zero or one character
  Example: .?salem matches "Hierusalem" or "Jerusalem"

Searching with Word Distance (CQL only)

Find words within a certain distance from each other:

• q[word="rege"][word="Francorum"]
  Finds "rege" immediately followed by "Francorum"
• q[word="rege"][][word="Francorum"]
  Finds "rege" exactly 1 word away from "Francorum"
• q[word="Hieronymus"][]{0,15}[word="Josephus"]
  "Hieronymus" within 0 to 15 words of "Josephus"
