“The Chinese Emperor’s Hindustan Jades” integrates text analysis, mapping, and interactive image viewers to visualize eighteenth-century China’s engagement with the Islamic world. The textual dataset is a group of approximately one hundred poems that the Qianlong emperor (r. 1736-1795) wrote about and ordered incised into the Islamic jades in his collection. The image/object dataset is the group of extant inscribed jades. Comparing the published printed text and the inscribed text reveals that they are not identical, and the same text could be inscribed onto multiple objects from different places around the Islamic world. The bilingual textual analysis and object-centered stylistic comparisons will be presented in a map and embedded image viewer that combines methodology from historical GIS and digital art history, with an emphasis on open-source tools and open access scholarship. At this stage of the project, both Sarah and Gloria are learning Python: Sarah will use it for Chinese textual analysis and comparison, while Gloria will use it together with the Folium library to create maps in Leaflet. Professor Kleutghen is focusing on image presentation with IIIF, which integrates with Leaflet and allows image annotations that will be drawn from the text analysis.
