Dear colleague,

Thank you for your >Aenigma< online.

It works the way of the built-in search feature of my Georges dictionary (1913) on CD that I use for such purpose.

Georges appartently has fewer entries („62.000 Hauptstichwörter, 200.000 Bedeutungsvarianten und rund 300.000 Belegstellen“). Where is your database from?

The wildcard „?“ (= single letter) offered by Georges might be useful in your search engine as well.

Best, Udo Kindermann

Von: dm-l [mailto:dm-l-bounces@uleth.ca] Im Auftrag von Burghart Marjorie Gesendet: Mittwoch, 11. Juni 2014 22:05 An: dm-l@uleth.ca Betreff: [dm-l] New resource: Enigma - Unpuzzling difficult Latin readings in medieval manuscripts

Dear list members,

Since I assume most of us work with Latin manuscripts at least sometimes, I would like to share here the news of the release of my latest development, called "Enigma" (Latin word for "puzzle"):

http://ciham-digital.huma-num.fr/enigma/

"Enigma helps scholars to decipher Latin words which are difficult to read in medieval manuscripts. It is sometimes impossible to decipher all the letters in a word, for various reasons (difficult palaeography, unclear writing, damage to the document, etc.) If you type the letters you can read and add wildcards, Enigma will list the possible Latin forms, drawing from its database of more than 400 000 forms."

I hpe you will find this useful :)

Best regards,

Marjorie Burghart
