Overview of the Work Orders to Formax in 2008

Work Order I

13 texts (three in batch 1 and ten in batch 2)

DESpecs 1.1.2

• ​Diversae "Conimbricenses In Universam dialecticam" (1606)
  • Special Instructions: <tf> tag for separate text flows, <q> and <a> tags for anchored comments.

• ​Benedetti, Giovanni Battista de "Diversarvm specvlationvm mathematicarum, et physicarum liber" (1585)
  • Should be straightforward, since many examples in the specs are taken from Benedetti.
  • Number notation, for example .4.: The rules for punctuation apply, we will see what happens.
  • Complex fractions: Probably only in figures

• ​Euclid "Elementorum Libri XV" (1607)
  • ​text in red: there is a rule for red text in version 1.1.2
  • additional ligatures, e.g. _{$p}_: Will be added to version 1.2. For now, we will just see what happens.

• ​Archimedes "De insidentibvs aqvae (Archimedis De insidentibus aquae)" (1565)

• ​Aristoteles "Quaestiones Mechanicae" (1585)
  • minor problem: skewed text (problem of the digitalization)
  • minor problem: swashes. Testcase: See what they make out of swashes.
  • minor problem: p.25: some letters are printed badly
  • ​∫ with tilde, followed by m: {secundu}m

• ​Benedetti, Giovanni Battista Consideratione d'intorno al discorso della grandezza della terra e dell' acqua di Berga (1579)

• ​Casati, Paolo "De igne" (1686)
  • index at the end, which is easy to type (no problem with right-aligned page numbers)

• ​Ghetaldi, Marino "Promotus Archimedis seu de varijs corporum generibus gravitate et magnitudine comparatis" (1603)
  • Asterisks as anchors for marginal notes, not repeated in the note itself. Add as a note to the section about marginal notes.

• ​Heron Alexandrinus "Spiritalium liber" (1680)

• ​Mersenne, Marin "Questions physico-mathematiques" (1635)
  • French
  • Special rule (two lines): type only complete pages, do not pages that are cut off
