'Developing an online critical edition: the case of Catullus Online'
János Gerevich (Woodpecker Software) & Dániel Kiss (University College, Dublin)
Tues May 6, 4.30pm
Institute of Classical Studies, Room 246
The poems of Catullus survived the Middle Ages in an exceptionally bad shape. While much more remains to be done to reconstruct this text, even what has already been achieved so far remains to be digested. In late 2009 we set out to remedy this situation by putting together a repertory of conjectures on Catullus and publishing it online as a digital critical edition of the poems of Catullus. However, there existed no online repertories of conjectures. Creating one meant building up a new genre from scratch. After a year of working together, we set up Catullus Online (www.catullusonline.org), which was inaugurated in January 2013. In this paper we discuss the creation of this website as a pioneering case study for editing repertories of conjectures and critical editions online.
