[quote user="Greg F"]One suggestion, if you're finding the popup to be unhelpful is to use the Information panel, it offers a somewhat "cleaner" view of all the morphological possibilities for a a given term.[/quote] Greg, just wanted to thank you for this suggestion; works MUCH better! :)
-
[quote user="Greg F"] I do agree with you that Logos could/should make it clearer that automatic tagging does not mean 100%-accurate morphological information for each and every word. [/quote] Indeed.
-
ah, I see...lol. So I just happened to use a text that would give me false expectations for others. Thanks Greg - and thanks for the suggestion, I'll try that. Cheers, :)
-
Greg, thanks for your thoughtful response one again :) As a former Classics (Greek & Latin) major, I'm exceedingly aware of the polysemantic nature of Latin morphology; "nostrum" in the abstract can indeed be many of those things, but not in the context of that sentence. A few years back, I read the Iliad; I ALWAYS read hardcopy - AND, I put Logos to

Hi Greg, Very much appreciate your thoughtful response. :) Well, maybe there's something wrong with my software, but allow me to provide an example. Choosing a word at random ("nostrum" in the context of "tu excitas, ut laudare te delectet, quia fecisti nos ad te et inquietum est cor nostrum, donec requiescat in te"), in the 1st paragraph of Liber Primus

The Loeb volumes are nearly useless; there are simply digital texts that one can get anywhere - but with jumbled/incorrect/missing morphological information, etc. For example, St. Augustine's Confessions - there are dozens of places I can get the digital text; some of the texts have oodles of information built into them. So what exactly is Logos selling
-
Are these texts - say the Chaucer texts - digital facsimiles of the original? Or are they simply digitized text like I am writing in now?

[quote user="MJ. Smith"] Under Tools, open Reading Lists - there are two that may be of interest: Verbum Practicum w/ Verbum Blog Training - the lower section will link you to blogs on how to use Verbum. Try some items of interest such as how to use the catechism [/quote] Hi M.J.! I'm curious, does Verbum come with Practicum/blog training? Thanks!
-
Thanks, yep, bid placed already.

So, this is not bad: http://dantelab.dartmouth.edu/reader Its real strength is its PLETHORA* of commentaries. Sure would be grand to get original language tagged text tho. I know I sound like a broken record but it seems to me that this is the real strength of Logos - and not trying to compete with a billion-free-non-copyrighted-books-cum-reader. Dante

Incidentally, I'm willing to bet that Skeat's multi-volume Oxford edition from early 20th century is now in the public domain. And it's an excellent text. Prolly the Riverside would be a bit expensive.
-
I think this is a great idea and direction - particularly if a middle english dictionary can be had as well; I'd be glad to compile a list of ME glossaries/dictionaries. Some of them are probably in the public domain by now I should think.

These are fascinating essays; and I should think of great interest to many Logos readers. [quote] I. 1. On the Education of Children ( Περὶ παίδων ἀγωγῆς - De liberis educandis ) 2. How the Young Man Should Study Poetry ( Πῶς δεῖ τὸν νέον ποιημάτων ἀκούειν - Quomodo adolescens poetas audire debeat ) 3. On Hearing ( Περὶ τοῦ ἀκούειν - De recta ratione

Lewis & Short. Wooo hoooo!

[quote user="Michael Grigoni"] Butters, we'll look into this. If you have further examples, please email them to me at mike [at] logos.com. [/quote] I've seen quite a few and haven't noted them because with so many incorrect I thought it must have been part of a wider problem. Shall keep track from now on.
-
I have noticed that the Loeb Iliad has some incorrect tagging. For example, Book 1 Line 48 the word ἔπειτ’ is tagged incorrectly. There are numerous other words I've come upon randomly that are similarly incorrect.
-
Yeah, that's in my very old hardcopy too - it was, I believe, formatted that way to encourage young students to see root words. It is a problem in this context, yes. I wonder if Logos can keep the dashes but somehow negate them in the search process?
-
So what's happening with the Lewis & Short? Is it still loitering in Community Pricing Purgatory?
-
That would be excellent - otherwise, it's really a wasted resource for the most part.

[quote user="Michael Childs"] [quote user="Rob"] Don't need any 100 year old dictionaries. [/quote] No doubt! After all, we are the first generation that God really spoke to, the first generation not to be blinded by our own prejudices and culture. What do a bunch of dead guys know? [/quote]
