This site now includes ‘Person pages’ which link Forman’s clients/patients across the casebooks. Person pages are accessed through the browse and search pages. Images of four of Forman’s volumes (MS Ashmole 234, 195, 219, 226) are now available on the case details pages (also reached through the browse and search pages). More features for working with Forman’s records, and Richard Napier’s casebooks for 1597-1603, will follow soon.

Release 3: name searching

Posted (1 June 2012)

The latest refinement to the search facility enables searching by name, whether of querent, subject or anyone else involved. It is also possible to search for parts of names (e.g. a search for ‘gard’ will find mentions of people called either Gardiner or Lagarde), or even to search for people whose name has not been identified.

Release 2: search facility
