This chapter outlines a quantitative method for analyzing location descriptions. Generally, such a quantitative analysis allows for identifying predominant features of these descriptions and, given a sufficiently large corpus, may allow for statistical inferences. Here, an English translation of Biondo’s chapter on the region Latium is used as a small case study illustrating the method. The analyzed features include the frequency (distribution) of the level of granularity of those entities referred to in the descriptions, which spatial hierarchical structures emerge from referring to different entities on potentially different levels of granularity and the frequency of these structures, and which spatial relationships between entities dominate in the descriptions. The chapter presents results of this analysis and discusses them in detail, also pointing out limitations of the method. However, mainly the chapter is to be read as an introduction to this particular analysis approach, which may be used to complement other analyses and may offer insights not otherwise gained.
