A digital library of Croatian Latin?
Formats and publication venues?
Visibility strategies?
Into the great wide open...
Ca. 15,000 texts by 1,500 authors connected with Croatia from the 10th to the 20th century
The texts more than material objects (books, manuscripts)
A physical collection comprising at least a significant fraction of the corpus does not exist anywhere.
The texts are dispersed.
A pragmatic issue with serious theoretical repercussions:
we tend to study most what is most easily accessible.
Collect and publish digitally as many Croatian Latin texts as possible.
Croatiae auctores Latini, first published 2009: over 5 million words, over 450 documents.
CroALaBib: a bibliographic database, 15,925 titles, 2,871 persons, 4,871 works, 417 manuscripts, 7,283 exemplars, secondary literature
