Thesaurus Linguae Graecae
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Thesaurus Linguae Graecae (TLG) is a research center at the University of California, Irvine. Founded in 1972, under director Dr. Theodore Bunner, the TLG has collected and digitized most surviving literary texts written in Greek from Homer to the fall of Constantinople in 1453, and beyond. Its goal is to create a comprehensive digital library of Greek literature from antiquity to the present era, including the classical dialects, Koine, medieval vernacular, and demotic.
The TLG database was previously circulated on CD ROM, for which a license fee was payable. The database is now searchable online by members of subscribing institutions. Only a very small subset of the texts are available by way of a demo to the unpaying public. Greek texts are not available for download, copying, or processing by users of the database.
As of December 2006, Greek texts in the TLG database are lemmatised for ease of searching.
TLG is currently responsible for the development, maintenance, and documentation of Beta code.
