Digital corpus and dictionary of Norwegian Medieval Latin

Latin was spoken and written during the Norwegian Middle Ages, although it no longer was someone's mother tongue. The project aims at creating a research infrastructure for the study of Latin as used in Norway in the Middle Ages. This is part of a larger, European
initiative to document Latin as the common language of Europe in this period.
To achieve this, we will first digitize all the Norwegian Medieval texts that
contain Latin. This will be done as part of Nasjonalbiblioteket's effort to
digitize the Norwegian textual heritage. In a later step, automatic methods
will be used to separate Latin parts of the texts from Old Norse parts. The
Latin material will then be lemmatized and organized in a concordance. The
digital corpus, lemmatization and concordance will in themselves constitute
important resources for the study of Norwegian Medieval Latin, but also
serve as stepping stones toward the ultimate goal of the project, which is a
digital dictionary of Norwegian Latin.
