Thank you for
helping develop the Isidore-of-Seville.com
Classical Library
In setting up
online commentaries, the editor hopes to encourage
serious scholars, professionals and hobbyists, to
contribute their knowledge to the understanding of
the texts online. The commentary is intended to be
informative, but informal and non-definitive.
Contributors are encourage to link their commentary
to resources available on the internet.
Informality
The commentary
should be accessible to non-specialists without
knowledge of ancient languages or access to a
research library.
- Greek should
be in Latin-alphabet
transliteration.
- Translations
should be provided for any Greek and Latin
quoted.
- Scholarly
works should be referred to by their full
name.
- The practice
of referring to a text's author by a single
letter (i.e. "N." for Nepos) can be confusing
and should be avoided.
Non-definitive
character
There is no
requirement on the part of contributors to agree on
questions or method, or even specifics.
Please email the
editor (timspalding@mediaonet.net)
if you need your commentary changed or deleted.
This feature will be automated in the near
future.
Sections
and pages
Section breaks
are indicated in the texts. It was not, however,
possible to set up the pages according to these
numbering systems. Therefore "eumenes4.html" is not
the same as section four. Because these pages may
be reformatted, contributors should reference the
traditional numbering systems.
Password
policy
A password system
was introduced to prevent board-spamming and put
some barriers in the way of non-scholarly posting.
There are two
ways to get a password:(1) guess the question (2)
ask the editor (timspalding@mediaone.net).
If you receive a password from the editor, you will
also be assigned a regular contributor
abbreviation. Include your favorite abbreviation
with the email (see a list of current
abbreviations).
Thank you, Tim
Spalding
