Texts
We’re focused on producing high-quality, citable, consistently lemmatised editions of texts in the following categories:
- 19th/20th Century Easy Greek Readers
- Plato
- Other Post-Beginner Greek Prose
- Biblical and Early Christian Texts
- New Testament Epitomes
as well as supporting the development of a born-digital reader: Linguae Graecae Per Se Illustrata (LGPSI).
If there is any Greek prose appropriate for extensive reading that you’re interested in helping add, see the Guide for Shepherds.
