Manuscripts and Homer
Hi Everyone!
I was wondering if anyone has found any pictures of the manuscripts of Greek authors on the web?
Also the variant readings to the beginning of the Illiad, does anyone have any idea where I might find this?
Thanks,
Dean

Re: Manuscripts and Homer
What exactly are you trying to do? For images of real papyrus, the Oxyrhynchus is good. Go to "The Papyri", enter the search and look for, say, "Homer" in the editorial title.Dean wrote:I was wondering if anyone has found any pictures of the manuscripts of Greek authors on the web?
Any critical edition should have these. The OCTs have the variants, though old. The new West edition from Teubner is pricy, but has a lot of variants. A search through Homer & the Papyri is likely to be fruitful, too.Also the variant readings to the beginning of the Illiad, does anyone have any idea where I might find this?

Excellent sites...both have been added to my favourites Greek list. Thank you.

Fanatical ranting is not just fine because it's eloquent. What if I ranted for the extermination of a people in an eloquent manner, would that make it fine? Rather, ranting, be it fanatical or otherwise, is fine if what is said is true and just. ---PeterD, in reply to IreneY and Annis

I forgot: The Chicago Homer. The user interface seems vaster than necessary. But when you view an Iliad line, pay attention to the blue line citation numbers at the far left. Clicking those will take you to a wondrous place.

In the Chicago Homer, I am having trouble with the font. I have squares between some letters of all the Greek words. How would I correct the problem? Thank you.

On the front page, before you enter the User Interface of Doom, they have a brief note about fonts at the bottom. Precomposed UNICODE sets seems to be the secret, but I'm guessing for your case.PeterD wrote:In the Chicago Homer, I am having trouble with the font.

Hi William,
It says to set the browser to UTF-8. I did that, but I still have the problem. I have Windows XP.

Hi Peter,
It sounds like a font problem. What browser do you use?
If IE, please try
Tools > Internet Options > Fonts
In dialog's left hand select list scroll to find either 'arial unicode ms' or 'palatino linotype' (two fairly common Unicode fonts). If you don't have these but know another Unicode font on your system, select it instead.
Then retry Chicago Homer.
Let me know if this works.
Cordially,
Paul

Paul, I have IE.
I tried the fonts you suggested as well as all the others. No change.

It works! Previously I had set the language script to Greek. Thanks, Pete.Pete wrote:what if you go in internet explorer to tools(menu bar)>internet options(menu option)>general (tab)>fonts(button).... and then for "language script: latin based" change the "webpage font" to Palatino linotype? Does that produce anything good?
