These two visualizations work with correspondence archives collected by the Project Vox team. The first visualization, “Network of Topics: From Elizabeth-Descartes Correspondence,” classifies topics in each known letter between Princess Elizabeth of Bohemia and René Descartes following the index in Lisa Shapiro’s book The Correspondence between Princess Elisabeth of Bohemia and René Descartes (2007). Go to the second visualization by changing views on the top left of the screen, which visualizes known letters between Princess Elizabeth of Bohemia and other philosophers.
