Vulgate available on Tesserae

Posted on February 22, 2016 by Caitlin Diddams

Jerome’s Vulgate is now available for Tesserae searches, either as full text or by individual book.
Our text, taken from Perseus, lacked the punctuation Tesserae needs to determine phrases in prose. We have added semicolons at the end of each verse so that verse functions as the Vulgate’s primary phrase unit. When the Vulgate is compared to a work of poetry, Tesserae also reads the poetry by phrase (rather than by line). We welcome comments and suggestions, and anticipate intriguing results. Happy searching,

The Tesserae Team

AWOL is a project of Charles E. Jones, Tombros Librarian for Classics and Humanities at the Pattee Library, Penn State University

AWOL began with a series of entries under the heading AWOL on the Ancient World Bloggers Group Blog. I moved it to its own space here beginning in 2009.

The primary focus of the project is notice and comment on open access material relating to the ancient world, but I will also include other kinds of networked information as it comes available.

The ancient world is conceived here as it is at the Institute for the Study of the Ancient World at New York University, my academic home at the time AWOL was launched. That is, from the Pillars of Hercules to the Pacific, from the beginnings of human habitation to the late antique / early Islamic period.

AWOL is the successor to Abzu, a guide to networked open access data relevant to the study and public presentation of the Ancient Near East and the Ancient Mediterranean world, founded at the Oriental Institute, University of Chicago in 1994. Together they represent the longest sustained effort to map the development of open digital scholarship in any discipline.

AWOL is syndicated to Facebook and Twitter.
