Source files

• AToS.csv: the table of signs of the Alphabetic Layer of the edition
• GToS.csv: the table of signs of the Graphematic Layer of the edition (a key part of this edition)
• casanatensis.xml: the source XML/TEI transcription of the manuscript (the heart of this edition)
• lemmatized_casanatensis.xml: in this version of casanatensis.xml, each <w> (word) element has a @lemma and an @ana element to identify it as, for example, the genitive singular of lemma homo, -inis (this is a temporary file as of March 20, 2016: when I'll review the result of the automatic lemmatization, this will become the only version; also, eventually I'll use @msd instead of @ana)

Visualization

• jsparser.js: the JavaScript to visualize casanatensis.xml in a browser
• sheet.xsl: a first experiment in creating a XSLT file to visualize casanatensis.xml in a browser. I then abandoned XSLT and used JavaScript instead (see jsparser.js)
• stylesheet.css: the CSS stylesheet for transcription.html
• transcription.html: the HMTL file in which, thanks to jsparser.js, the user can read the edition. To view this file (and therefore the edition) in your browser, and not just its source code, go to http://www.unipa.it/paolo.monella/ursus/transcription.html
