The aim of the Alberti Magni e-corpus project is to support research on Albert the Great by providing scholars the possibility: 1) to download image files of Albert’s works that can be found in editions no longer covered by copyright laws; 2) more importantly, to search 60 of those works electronically, using a Boolean search engine which gives access to a corpus of approximately 19,000 pages in print or 8.6 million words. (Errors such as typos being sometimes abundant in such editions and often representing an obstacle to electronic searching, about 6,000 very uncontroversial corrections have been made to the texts. They are always identified to the user.) The free, searchable corpus should prove useful to scholars both with and without an access to the commercial online corpus of Aschendorff Verlag. The majority of the works included in the Alberti Magni e-corpus have not yet been edited by the Albertus-Magnus-Institut, whose critically-edited texts are published by, and constitute the electronic corpus of, Aschendorff Verlag. - [Author]
