Development

The non-commercial site, still under development (''in statu nascendi'') at mlat.uzh.ch, is conceived as a text (meta-)repository with a set of research tools. It is being developed under the direction of Phillip Roelli, and it uses only free and open software. The project aims to provide a platform for standardised (TEI) xml-files of copyright-free Latin texts; to make the texts searchable in complex manners; and to function as an online platform for the publication of Latin texts (e.g. the Richard Rufus Project's corpus at Stanford University). Texts are divided into searchable corpora on specific topics, e.g. one corpus consists of ten Latin translations of Aristotle's ''Physica''.Project'
