Announcing the first Roman Perseus release:
Latin texts and text tools!
October 28, 1997
The Perseus Project has completed the first phase of work on Roman Perseus, funded with a grant from the Teaching with Technology Program of the
National Endowment for the Humanities. We are pleased to make public these new resources, including texts in Latin and English translation, and tools for reading Latin. Use and enjoy them!
More Latin texts will be added periodically over the coming months. Also, full bibliographic information for the Roman Perseus texts is forthcoming.
For more information about the projected contents of Roman Perseus, read the original grant announcement.
The first Roman Perseus release includes:
-
Latin texts, many with an English translation, including works of Caesar, Catullus, Cicero, Horace, Livy, Ovid, Plautus, Servius, and Vergil;
- an on-line edition of the Lewis and Short Latin Dictionary (sample entry: verro);
- a dictionary search tool, for looking up words or partial words in Lewis and Short (sample search: "laud" at the beginning of Latin dictionary entries);
- an English -> Latin Word Search which is a reverse dictionary, returning dictionary entries that include the word you seek (sample search: praise);
- and a Latin word search, for finding instances of a word in the Latin texts (sample search: canto).
As always, we welcome your comments
and suggestions.
