Recent Latin doings
Jun. 27th, 2004 09:58 pmLast week: Discovered Martialis, a blog posting the epigrams of Martial, one per day, for the next four and a half years.
This week: Started reading the Aeneid (in translation) on the train, since I never finished it in college.
Tuesday: Found the entirety of the Etymologies of St. Isidore at the local used bookstore. Isidore wrote them to contain the entirety of human knowledge, though we now know that much of what he wrote is incorrect. He is of course the patron saint of the Internet.
This weekend: Finished writing the XSLT to produce an index of first lines to all the poems on my website.
