Regiomontanus Defensio Theonis

This project offers a preliminary digital edition of the longest astronomical text written in fifteenth-century Europe. Previously unpublished and extant in a single, autograph manuscript, Regiomontanus's Defensio Theonis contra Trapezuntium (or Defense of Theon against George of Trebizond) offers a polemically charged survey of the astronomical and natural philosophical worlds of Ptolemy's Almagest.

The Oral Nature of the Homeric Simile

This work, by Dartmouth Professor Emeritus William Scott, centers on Homer's similes as compositions derived from, and dependent on, an oral tradition. The 2009 print and electronic publication of Scott's latest work (The Artistry of the Homeric Simile) spurred the digital reissue of this 1974 study The Oral Nature of the Homeric Simile.
