  • Musean translation

    Mouseia, from the original

    Complete machine-assisted Musean translation directly from the Latin of all three books in Plasberg's 1917 edition, independently drafted and reviewed against the source. The Perseus transcription is credited to Tufts University and its contributors under CC BY-SA 4.0. Source lacunae remain visible; daggers mark uncertain readings. Later-author fragments placed within 3.65 by this witness remain in their supplied order.

  • Plain English translation

    Mouseia, from the original

    Complete machine-assisted Plain English translation independently made directly from the same Latin, not from the Musean edition or a historical English translation, and reviewed against the source. Source gaps, uncertain readings and the later-author fragments in 3.65 are retained. Perseus digital source attribution and CC BY-SA 4.0 apply as recorded in the source registry.

The method behind Mouseia’s house editions is open source as Champollion.
