Sarah Bond on Twitter mentioned
de rebus
bellicis and how she’d love to make a commentary on it on
de commentariis. I scratched about the internet a bit and found an
Oxford Text Archive version of the text you can see here
-
http://ota.ahds.ac.uk/desc/0309
When
you download this file (a zip file) you can see they have a TEI
style header file to describe the contents of the file, but the
actual text is, annoyingly, in a different, non-XML plain text
format. However, the file is short enough, I would not mind putting
the body of the file into an acceptable TEI standard XML. OTA
assigned a CC Attribution Non-Commercial Share alike licence to the
original so The file could then go back into the Perseus DL
canonical repository OK.
But
it’s not in the current Perseus CTS catalogue (unless a different
title). It’s not in the PHI collection either. So it needs to be
assigned a CTS catalogue number. How does one go about doing
that? I’m also using the CTS catalogue entries as my keys for the
texts in de commentariis so it’s kind of my first step.
thanks
