LAGL Catalog of Authors and Works

This Catalog is part of the Linked Ancient Greek and Latin (LAGL) project and is populated with forms deriving from the linguistic extraction and annotation of expressions about authors and works in ancient Greek sources.

This is the first version of the Catalog, which shows data from the catalogs of the Digital Athenaeus, the Digital Harpocration, and the Digital Suda projects. Forthcoming versions of the catalog will allow to search Greek forms and will be enriched with data from other sources, such as the works of Clement of Alexandria.

Annotated tokens of the Catalog can be visualized in the Linguistic Catalog of the LAGL project, where they are enriched with lemmata and Named Entity (NE) labels.

Search Fields
