@PerseusDigLib update to the scaife.perseus.org/. @eldarion did a fresh ingest that that bumped our total words on scaife.perseus.org from 50.1 million to 64.3 million (Greek from 20.1m in 1,178 works to 28.8m in 1,298 works). thanks @jtauber !

How I use @PerseusDigLib: 1.) Load the Greek, covering the English with my hand. 2.) Reveal the English and check my work. 3.) Click on individual words (each one is a hyperlink even though they’re not underlined) to launch the word study tool to help me through rough spots.

Thank you! We don’t know this information unless we’re told by the giver so we never have the chance to personally thank supporters for their generosity.
Also, feel free to give our stuff away! If it’s open source (all but a handful of texts are) it’s there to be shared.
Lest you think I’m just giving your stuff away - I donate to you guys annually. Just don’t forget to call and hit me up each fund drive :)

Xenophon is also featured in the new Scaife Viewer

in addition to the current Perseus site.

Always go to the Loeb edition. If you don’t want to pay, you use @PerseusDigLib online for free.

And there's nothing specific to lexemes about this approach. Could be applied to ANY resource with universal identifiers where scholars differ on the lumping and splitting.

Yes, it layers on top of citable URNs very nicely (esp. taking all nodes to be citable URNs). The key to allowing "splits", though, is that if a scholar wants to distinguish A and B and LSJ conflates them, we map the URN for the LSJ conflation to the set {URN for A, URN for B}

@PerseusDigLib @PhilologistGRC This *must* become the cornerstone for any future lemmatization work on Ancient Greek texts, including the Ancient Greek Dependency Treebank #AGDT

Another fundamental step forward for linked open lexical data for ancient Greek. Exciting times!

Elements of textual criticism of manuscripts surface even when dealing with digitisation of printed books. On a current project, I can tell which electronic texts were manually keyed (from haplography) versus OCR'd and, in the OCR cases, can tell which image scan they used.

The passage references are just how the XML (and citation references) in github.com/OpenGreekAndLatin… are set up. The XML _does_ appear to have links to the Iliad text itself but the reader doesn't know to interpret them (yet). Would be a nice feature to add so I'll create an issue.

Trying to navigate the @PerseusDigLib Scaife viewer to read #Iliad scholia, but it is proving impossible to find any particular passage. Search does not work, and passage references don't correspond to book and line numbers. Am I missing something @jtauber ?
