Dear Fellow Medievalists:
I would like to announce that a new site has just come on line,
which may be of interest to some of you. It is called the
ELECTRONIC GROSSETESTE and it contains latin texts and
resources for research into the life and works of Robert
Grosseteste (ca. 1170-1253). The URL is:
http://www.leeds.ac.uk/trs/rg/
The contents includes right now all of Grosseteste's philosophical
and scientific works printed in Baur; his letters; and manuscript
transcriptions graciously provided by some Grosseteste scholars.
These all are in public domain and may be downloaded or read
online.
Those interested in philosophy, theology, history of science and
even latin literature may find the site of some use.
A bibliographic guide is currently in preparation. And eventually, the
site will have a searchable database of XML files of texts still under
copyright (I have permission from some publishers, and am
awaiting the decision of a few others). This database will allow for
single word and phrase searching of one or all texts, and will return
small amounts of text, with page number(s). That facility is about
a year away from completion.
The site will undergo many changes until its completion in 2001. If
you visit the site, please feel free to send me any comments. I
would be most grateful for your advice for improving the site.
I should apologise in advance to those who have less than a T1
connection to the net; the main page takes a while to load: I was
under severe licensing restrictions in terms of how I could
electronically reproduce the main image. Sorry.
I should note the wonderful support of the Department of Theology
and Religious Studies, and the hard work of four excellent research
students (names listed under 'People' at the site).
Cheers
Jim
