Automatic cursus analysis
by Christian Schwaderer 04 Feb '15

04 Feb '15

Dear all, I'm currently dealing with papal documents of the mid 12th century. Having found out that one option to distinguish genuin documents from forgeries in that period is the correct use of the so-called "cursus", I must, of course, check if in "my" documents the cursus was used correctly or not. But I'm wondering if I should do that manually. Maybe there are better ways. So, are there ready-to-use solutions for detecting the use of the cursus in latin texts? The "cursus" is basically a kind of prose rhythm based on the word stress. A set of rules determines the distribuation of stressed and unstressed syllables within a sentence. Thus, a tool (semi) automatically detecting the stress of latin words would be great thing to start with. Any ideas or suggestions are welcome!
