Corpus Corporum
Corpus Corporum or in full, Corpus Córporum: repositorium operum latinorum apud universitatem Turicensem, is a digital Latin library developed by the University of Zurich, Institute for Greek and Latin Philology. As of February 2025, the repository contains a total of approximately 215 million Latin words and 11 million Greek words, including the entire Patrologia Latina, the Vulgate, the Classical Greek and Latin texts from Perseus Digital Library and numerous other medieval and Neo-Latin collections of religious, literary and scientific texts.
Development
The non-commercial site, still under development at mlat.uzh.ch, is conceived as a text repository with a set of research tools. It is being developed under the direction of Phillip Roelli, and it uses only free and open software. A completely new version was launched in 2019, programmed by Jan Ctibor.The project aims to provide a platform for standardised xml-files of copyright-free Latin texts; to make the texts searchable in complex manners; and to function, as an online platform for the publication of Latin texts.
Texts are divided into searchable corpora on specific topics, each corpus usually consists of test data from one project. There are thirty corpora at present.
