Diogenes Tlg Software
Software for TLG and PHI CD-ROMsby Darl J. Dumont and Randall M. Smith | |
NEWS: | |
Almost all of Ancient Greek and Latin literature are available on CD-ROM -- Thesaurus Linguae Graecae's CD-ROM #E (ancient Greek texts) contains 1823 authors and collections from the 8th century BC to the 1453 AD. The Packard Humanities Institute's CD-ROM 5.3 contains Latin authors, and also seven versions of the Bible. Packard Humanities Institute also provides a third CD-ROM with collections of Greek Papyri and Inscriptions (CD-ROM 'PHI 7'). None of these CD-ROMs comes equipped with software for viewing and searching; They simply contain the files in 'ISO 9660' format, further encoded in a format known as 'Beta Code'. MUSAIOS provides a means to view the texts in a format similar to the printed page, and to perform searches. MUSAIOS 2010 will run on Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Windows 7, both 32-bit and 64-bit versions. MUSAIOS 2010 uses the Unicode fonts included with Windows that support Polytonic Greek. The WinGreek font is no longer necessary. | |

Hit ⌘⏎ to open the text online or ii. Hit ⌃⏎ to open it offline (in case you have Diogenes installed). There are also some functions related to a software called DEVONthink. I highly recommend checking it out. I have written about how I use it here. There is no mystery to these functions.

the Packard Humanities Institute and the Thesaurus Linguae Graecae.http://www.dur.ac.uk/p.j.heslin/Software/Diogenes/
The major new feature in this version is that, thanks to the
generosity of the Perseus project, morphological data and dictionaries
for Latin (Lewis-Short) and Greek (LSJ) and are built-in. This means
that you can:
* Click on a word in the texts and get a morphological analysis and
the corresponding dictionary entry instantly, even if you are not
connected to the Internet.
* Click to analyze words in the dictionary entries themselves, or
click on the citation information of a passage cited in the
dictionary to jump to the context of the passage in the Latin or
Greek database.
* Do morphologically intelligent searching, i.e. search for all of the
inflected forms of a given dictionary headword.
* Look up words in the dictionaries.
In addition, version 3 of Diogenes is newly based on the Firefox
browser and should be very easy to install, much more so than
previously. Easy-to-install packages are provided for Mac OS X,
Windows, and Linux. Installation just takes a couple of clicks.
Version 3.1 also includes a number of new features that had long been
requested:
* Unicode input (now the default).
* Saving user-defined subsets of the databases for repeated searching.
* Running marginal numeration when browsing through a text.
* Improved Unicode output.
* For network installations, individual user settings (via cookies).
