Lucretius - Side-By-Side English and Latin Versions

Until I set up a separate thread I'll continue to post here updates on getting a side-by-side version of Lucretius.

At present I now have all of book one available in Latin, Dunster, Munro, and Bailey here:

There will be lots of typos during the process of getting a workable version up and I'll correct them in waves as I make progress on each book.

I have been debating whether to separate these into six separate files, out of concern that the file size would slow down the rendering, but at present things are still pretty snappy so I'll go for getting them all in one file, and that will make word searching a lot easier.

Another place I am sure there will be errors is cross-matching the beginning of each english section with the correct section in Latin.

the problem is that the sections (by approximate line number) are pretty arbitrary, and in order to get this done I'm going pretty fast and that makes it harder to be certain that I'm finding the right latin section (since my Latin isn't superb in the first place).

If anyone sees any obvious mismatches please let me know and I'll correct them.

I made a lot of progress today and completed the "coding" I needed for all six books, but when I loaded them into github the site now seems to choke with a 'loading' message.

May have to split them up by book to make it workable but if someone checks the site for the time being that's the reason it's not working.

Well I've run into a situation that the code from github is choking whenever I exceed a certain size limit, so there's no way I can get more than two translations side by side at a time.

I might play further with the github code, but I think in the meantime I'm going to go with pure html (courtesy of Chatgpt) and be satisfied for the moment with this version:

It's not as polished as the other version and has lots of quirks to work out.
