This dataset contains excerpts about emotions and their manifestations from the “Annales seu Cronicae incliti Regni Poloniae” by Jan Długosz (Ioannes Dlugossius, Dlugosch), written in Latin between 1455 and 1480. They were collected based on emotion words (as proposed by Barbara Rosenwein), that is, various parts of speech (verbs, nouns, participles, adjectives, adverbs) that indicate emotion or emotional response, e.g. ira (anger), lacrimare (to cry). They are not lemmatized and therefore Latin conjugation and declination as well as variations in spelling has to be taken into consideration in searching.
There are two columns in the file:
A = bibliographical reference
B = quotation in Latin
Information about column A:
12 books of the “Annales” were printed in the modern edition in 11 volumes (see below)
Roman numeral = book number
LD = Litterae dedicatoriae (dedicatory letter)

p. xxx = page number
Information about column B:
Quotations are provided in the identical form to the edition. Variations in spelling are not unified, e.g. lacrima (tear) could be spelled both as “lacrima” as well as “lachrima”.
Data does not take into account the critical apparatus of the edition.
Quotation marks indicate that excerpts refer to the quote within the text, e.g. letters or speeches.
Square brackets with ellipsis indicate that part of the text has been omitted in the quotation without changing its meaning.

Project no. 2021/41/N/HS3/02721, Emotions and manifestations thereof in works of Jan Długosz, founded by National Science Center (NCN), Poland, in the framework of Preludium 20 programme (2022–2026), conducted at the Faculty of History, University of Warsaw.
PI: Kalina Słaboszowska
Supervisor: Piotr Węcowski
The main aim of the project is to investigate the role of emotions and expressions thereof in the works of Jan Długosz (1415–1480). He was the most prominent Polish historian of the Middle Ages and he left a considerable amount of writings, most importantly the best known and enormous chronicle „Annales seu Cronicae incliti Regni Poloniae”. In this extraordinary work he presented Polish history from the legendary ancient beginnings until events contemporary to his life. Writing the „Annales” took him 25 years. Examination of emotions as a vital part of a worldview gives deeper insight into mentality, political culture, religiosity, as well as literary skills of Jan Długosz himself.
