<p>The repertory aims to include all conjectures on Catullus that have been published in print since the <em>editio princeps</em> of 1472.  Hitherto unpublished conjectures by scholars who are no longer alive, and readings of interest that arose not as conjectures but for example as misprints, are included at the editor’s discretion.  The repertory is not intended to serve as the first place of publication for new conjectures; those who would like to publish one are directed towards specialist journals.</p>

Description

Taken from the project About the website page (Accessed 2020-09-01):

This website offers a critical edition of the poems of Catullus, a repertory of conjectures on the text, an overview of the ancient quotations from Catullus that have independent source value, and high-quality images of some of the most important manuscripts.

Though originally conceived as a repertory of conjectures, it has grown into a full digital critical edition of Catullus, including the editor's text and a critical apparatus including readings from manuscripts as well as conjectures.

The website also includes an extensive bibliography.

History

The edition was originally developed between 2009 and 2013 at the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München. Ever since, it has been mantained by D. Kiss.

In 2020, while D. Kiss was visiting scholr the Venice Centre for Digital and Public Humanities (VeDPH), the Centre has started migrating Catullus Online to a new software framework.

Modelling

In the original version of the edition, text and apparatus are not encoded using TEI XML or any other declarative markup language. The relationship between Latin text and apparatus has been modelled through a relational database, in which each apparatus entry is entered as one unstructured string of text.

One of the major goals of the 2020 digital redesign of the edition is precisely to give the apparatus a formal structure.
