We'd like to remind readers that the responses to queries are usually best posted to the individual asking the question. That individual is then strongly encouraged to post a summary to the list. This policy was instituted to help control the huge volume of mail on LINGUIST; so we would appreciate your cooperating with it whenever it seems appropriate. In addition to posting a summary, we'd like to remind people that it is usually a good idea to personally thank those individuals who have taken the trouble to respond to the query.

Message 1: Seeking electronic versions of Latin texts

Subject: Seeking electronic versions of Latin texts


We are beginning a pilot study to investigate the feasibility of
linking sentences in Old English translations of Latin texts to their
Latin originals . We are working with an annotated electronic Old
English Corpus (the York- Toronto-Helsinki Parsed Corpus of Old
English Prose, the YCOE), and we plan to annotate electronic versions
of the Latin texts with the YCOE sentence IDs. This will enable
linguists and other scholars to investigate the influence of Latin on
Old English word order. However, we are having trouble finding
electronic versions of most of the Latin texts. The ones we want are
listed below. If you have electronic versions of these Latin texts, or
if you know where they can be obtained, we would very much like to
hear from you . We will seek copyright permission where necessary, and
we will gratefully acknowledge owners of the texts where appropriate.
