DigitalDonne: the Online Variorum

First-Line Short-Form Cross Reference

Compiled 1-29-99 & revised January 2011 by M. Farrington with the assitance of Laura Perrings and Carly Thompson.

This tool cross-references first lines with DV short forms and work sigla (i.e., poem identification numbers, which are derived from Shawcross's edition [DV siglum Z] except for those not included in Z [nos. 195-202]). Items of doubtful canonical status are marked dub for "dubium" and are not assigned numbers.  

The data are presented in three parallel, but independent lists alphanumerically ordered, respectively, by Work Siglum, Short Form, and First Line. The right-most column in list 3 also locates the poems in Z by page number. The database is also available as PDF.  Both HTML and PDF versions are searchable.
