Introduction

We have lemmatised the interpretive editions of the Histoire ancienne jusqu'à César in Fr20125 and Royal 20 D I, using a digital tool called Lemming, created by Marcus Husar and Stephen Doerr of the Dictionnaire étymologique de l’ancien français (DEAF). The data from lemmatisation are accessible on our search page, which is also linked to the Text Viewer.

The lemmatisation of the two complete interpretive editions have now been published on the search page.

There are a very small number of corrections (< 5) completed after lemmatisation, which we have not been able to re-lemmatise (e.g. Fr20125 §1077.1 'rois'>'tors').


Search: Result Type

Three different types of results are available for the user:

  1. Words in Context (concordance)
  2. Names (index of names)
  3. Lemmata (all lemmata and names)

Users can search for lemmas or forms in all three results lists. It is possible to move directly from Names and Lemmata to Words in Context by selecting a name or lemma. The Words in Context results list is also linked to the paragraph in which the segment occurs in the Text Viewer.
