1. Some of you will have noticed that the reply-to domain name on Mantovano
has changed to virgil.org. The old address should work for awhile as well,
but I hope everyone will agree that the new one is more mnemonic.
2. Typing www.virgil.org in your web browser now takes you to a remade
version of the Hesperia website (which hosts the bibliography and other
goodies).
3. New content: my sabbath day project was mounting a search engine on the
web site that will allow anyone to search the Latin corpus of Virgil's
works (using boolean and/or regular expressions if you so desire; not as
good as Pandora, but free, and universally accessible, too). I don't
actually have it up on the web yet, but I'm hoping to have it all working
by the end of the month.
4. What I still need (in terms of raw materials) is an electronic text of
the Eclogues. (The Appendix is just going to have to wait, unless someone
knows of an electronic text for this, too.) Several years ago, I downloaded
TEX versions of Aen 1-12 and Geo 1-4. I don't remember if the Eclogues just
weren't available at the time, or if I was just too lazy to get them when I
could find them! The files I used were (a) in the public domain and (b)
taken from
Greenough, J. B. _Bucolics,_Aeneid,_and_Georgics_Of_Vergil_.
Boston: Ginn & Co., 1900.
If someone can let me know where I can find the Eclogues files now, I would
appreciate it. NB: please do NOT send the files as an attachment to this
list.
