Abstract
The paper discusses the methods, challenges, and results of a research project aimed at constructing a Historical GIS based on a geohistorical textual source: the book Trento con il sacro Concilio, et altri notabili (Mariani, 1673). This work, written approximately a century after the Council, contains extensive geohistorical information about the seventeenthcentury Trento region, including details on landscape features, settlements, social practices, and environmental aspects, along with relatively precise location references. Relevant passages were transcribed and geolocated within the GIS using a dataset associated with a point layer. The GIS processing of this source enables: the dissemination of the seventeenth-century Trentino geographic context to the general public through publication via a webGIS platform; a deeper exploration of contemporary research topics, such as the history of vineyard landscapes or the historical animal geography of Alpine areas, facilitated by spatial analysis of the reported data. In conclusion, this study demonstrates the potential of using GIS to process geohistorical sources, including textual and narrative ones.
Il presente contributo espone il metodo, le problematiche e i risultati di un progetto volto a costruire un Historical GIS basato su una fonte geostorica testuale, il testo Trento con il sacro Concilio, et altri notabili […] (Mariani, 1673). Questa opera, redatta circa un secolo dopo il Concilio, contiene numerose informazioni di interesse geostorico sul territorio trentino seicentesco relative a insediamenti, pratiche sociali e aspetti ambientali, unite a riferimenti localizzativi precisi. Tali brani sono stati trascritti e geolocalizzati in ambiente GIS tramite un dataset associato a un layer puntuale. Il processamento della fonte tramite GIS consente: 1. di promuovere la divulgazione presso il grande pubblico del contesto geografico trentino seicentesco attraverso la pubblicazione sul web tramite webGIS; 2. di approfondire, grazie ad una una lettura spaziale dei dati riportati, alcuni filoni di ricerca di interesse attuale come la storia dei paesaggi vitivinicoli o una animal historical geography delle aree alpine. In conclusione, questa esperienza dimostra le potenzialità del processamento in ambiente GIS di fonti geostoriche anche testuali e narrative.
