Welcome to the new CCL! We hope that you will find the navigation simple, and that you can explore our growing corpus of transcriptions, translations, and annotations. The "Search this site" box at the top of the page is for searches in standardised or exact spelling of all CCL content. To find material in the CCL database of full-text Latin transcriptions of canon law manuscripts, please use the "Search Latin corpus" link on the left panel. It will take you to the special CCL search engine, which assists in finding words and phrases when the orthography and syntax are unpredictable.
We invite you to post comments and information and questions throughout the site. To do so, please create an account. There may be a delay of a day or two while your request for an account is reviewed, but we shall do our best to give you access to features requiring an account as quickly as we can. There is, of course, no fee!
Scholars with approved accounts are also invited to contribute transcriptions, translations, and annotations to the canons published on the CCL site. Any contribution to the site is publicly credited automatically. Please see the "Intellectual Property Matters" (left navigation panel) for a more detailed description of author's rights.
The CCL is now able to receive transcriptions made with T-PEN, the online transcription tool for digital images of manuscripts delivered by manuscript repositories. Please visit the "Transcribe" link in our navigation panel to learn how to use T-PEN to contribute to the CCL. In early 2012, we shall host a CCL-customised, web-version of Juxta, the textual collation software developed by Performant Software for the University of Virginia.
Meanwhile, enjoy what we have, and watch for more.
