Texts

Makhairas' Chronicle

This electronic text of the Chronicle of Makhairas (ca. 1432) was downloaded from a no-longer extant site in Cyprus. The text is available in two formats:

Unicode (UTF-8) with precomposed chaaracters
polytonic font with Greek keyboard mapping; Metrp is a Macintosh TT font which can read it.

The text is in a polytonic font with Greek keyboard mapping; I have also included an option file for the Macintosh concordance program Conc (SIL), which will process texts encoded in such a font. I will be publishing a Unicode version with normalised characters and in XML eventually.

Edition: Makhairas, L. 1980 [1932]. Recital concerning the Sweet Land of Cyprus entitled 'Chronicle'. Edited & translated by Dawkins, R.M. 2 vols. New York: AMS Press.
