Mac OS X for Latinists and Hellenists

Mac Latinists and Hellenists

For the classicists and Latinists here is a small list of Mac programs that will surely interest you, despite the number of Latin dictionaries in pdf that are on the net, we start with the free or open source applications.

The first to name will be the Pandora, this is a program that classic users used and it disappeared with the jump to Mac OS X. It is based on the hypercard technology, its main function was to carry out searches within the Thesaurus Linguae Graecae and the Packard Humanities institute before moving to electronic format.

Another program is Diogenes, Which is a firefox engine app; It came out after Pandora and its main function is to search within different paid Latin and Greek repositories - (tlg, phi, ddbdp, Classical Inscriptions, Latin Inscription etc) - which are not included in the program, this enforcement It has a simple interface and although it is not up to date it works well with Leopard. one of its virtues is that as soon as it emits the list of results, all the words contained in them work as hyperlinks, after version 3, Perseus is limited to indicating case, gender and number and the description is derived from Freund's Latin lexicon, obviously with the updates Andrews, Lewis and Short ... not like before, that the links opened the page that corresponded to Perseus within the same program.

We continue with word, which is an electronic version of the dictionary that Diogenes applies. Is a enforcement that centralizes the results that Perseus puts on our desktop without having a connection with Internet.

Now, Latin Words. This one is much simpler than the ones I already mentioned; is a search interface for the Latin-English bilingual dictionary. Compared to others, this is an excellent helper for Latin students of any level, it also includes a shallow English translation. This is a SCHEDULE multiplatform available for windows, linus y Mac OS X
