medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture For those of you have have long awaited an on-line or e-text version of the Clementine Vulgate, one is now available. The home page for the project is http://vulsearch.sourceforge.net/. From here you can download download the text in either PDF or lightly-marked-up plain text, search and read it on-line, or download a program for Windows that searches and displays the text along with the Douay-Rheims English translation, and morphological and translation output from William Whitaker's Words program. Both the text and the program have been released as open source, under the GPL license. For years the only available e-text of the Vulgate has been the Beuron/Stuttgart edition. This originated from a text produced by the University of Pennsylvania's CCAT, under a license from the German Bible Society. Although many copies of it exist on the Internet (and on individual PCs), they are of questionable legality, not to mention limited usefulness to medievalists. You can read a fuller account of the nachleben of this text at http://www.le.ac.uk/elh/grj1/linksa.html. Oh, I have checked to make sure that the text passes Bill East's Gen. 3:20 benchmark: http://vulsearch.sourceforge.net/html/Gn.html#x3_20 Phil Feller ********************************************************************** To join the list, send the message: join medieval-religion YOUR NAME to: [log in to unmask] To send a message to the list, address it to: [log in to unmask] To leave the list, send the message: leave medieval-religion to: [log in to unmask] In order to report problems or to contact the list's owners, write to: [log in to unmask] For further information, visit our web site: http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/lists/medieval-religion.html
