Before I started my search with Alice, I wanted to understand how this website works. I realized that there are 3 lines where keywords can be typed in – a topic of conversation, Alice’s brain and what the search should be about.  There are two main terms that I instantly think about when it comes…

Then I opened Alice, I chosed the Xenotheka Library and as topic of conversation I chosed “architecture”. I began my research with the author’s name: Domenico Fontana. I was interested in how important…

For the third task of “friends with an old book” as a first step, I tried to read the pages I had chosen for the previous assignments, and being a book by an Italian author I did not find it too difficult to understand the themes and key words (I am a native Italian speaker)….

For my first finding with my research through Alice I simply used “architecture” as the topic of conversation, the “Xenotheka Library” as the brain and the text “circle sector”. The circle sector is the topic Alexander Andreas dedicated his work “Logometron architecturae militaris Freitagianae” to. The search brought many different results, 85 to be exact….
