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!
Best regards, Christian

This is certainly the right place to ask... Peter Stokes and Ariana Ciula are the two people that jump to mind on this.

Dear Christian, a new tool still to be tested but already available for this purpose is http://www.cursusinclausula.eu. An English version of the help page is coming. All the best Francesco Stella
