Book Stream


Book Stream

The Book Stream shows an automatic alignment of index entries of the Deipnosophists of Athenaeus of Naucratis extracted from four different resources:

  1. Index of Authors, Texts, and Persons by S. Douglas Olson;
  2. Index Scriptorum by August Meineke;
  3. Index Scriptorum by Georg Kaibel;
  4. Dialogi Personae by Georg Kaibel.

Each entry of the indices is linked to the index digger of each index.

Each paragraph of each book of the Deipnosophists is linked to Index to Text, which is an experimental tool based on the Levenshtein distance for automatically aligning index entries with the Greek text of the Deipnosophists.

The left sidebar allows users to select books and paragraphs in order to visualize the corresponding alignment.
