I mean that despite the abundance of names in the provenance available to me, exactly zero of them turned up in genealogical databases, and exactly zero of them had a hand in any other publications I could find. It didn&#8217;t help that none of them had the decency to include their location (or at least, a legible one).<\/p>\n<p>But I digress. Even though none of the owners seemed to leave a lasting footprint in history, it was fun to figure out who might have come first and what they did with it. It&#8217;s a fairly outdated concept, so it doesn&#8217;t see much use today, but judging from the number of names in it I suspect that it saw a great deal of use from religious figures or followers. I&#8217;m fairly certain that I&#8217;m the first person to have sifted through it so deeply in a long while.<\/p>\n<p>This was an adventure. For someone as unversed in technology as me, Timeline JS might as well have been rocket science the first time I saw it despite how simple it actually was once I got down to it. The problems I encountered were mostly nuanced (often user error) so I have to say that the tool itself was actually quite useful.<\/p>\n<p>So, here: the product of my puzzling. Behold the vast amount of dead-end (but still cool) provenance. I view it as a glimpse into the lives of ordinary people.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.knightlab.com\/libs\/timeline3\/latest\/embed\/index.html?source=1nJydfYSgjMUmS17dTOQbN1ZP8o-BUqfcjTDSAPz0WAU&amp;font=Default&amp;lang=en&amp;initial_zoom=2&amp;height=650\" width=\"100%\" height=\"650\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m not sure, but I think I might have picked the one book in our Special Collections library with the absolute least notable owners in the entire world.
