A Database of Intertexts in Valerius Flaccus' Argonautica: A Benchmarking Resource for the Evaluation of Computational Intertextual Search of Latin Corpora. Dexter, J. P., Chaudhuri, P., Burns, P. J., Adams, E. D., Bolt, T. J., Cásarez, A., Flynt, J. H., Li, K., Patterson, J. F., Schwartz, A., & Shumway, S. Journal of Open Humanities Data, January, 2024.
Paper doi abstract bibtex Characterization of intertextual references among authors is fundamental for the study of Latin literature. In this paper, we describe a large-scale intertextuality dataset compiled from three modern commentaries on Valerius Flaccus’ epic poem Argonautica. The dataset includes 945 references to earlier and contemporary Roman authors, as well as associated metadata required for use of multiple intertext search tools. To illustrate the dataset’s reuse potential, we perform a new benchmark analysis of Fīlum, a sequence alignment tool for intertextuality detection.
