Seneca

I am working on an EPUB version of Seneca’s letters to Lucilius. There just doesn’t seem to be a good version available out there. Nothing on Gutenberg and scans made with crappy OCR software of the Loeb Classical Library edition available from Amazon, B&N and Google Books just don’t cut the mustard. Fortunately, Wikisource has a cleaned up version of that, but it’s in HTML, so I’m working on converting it to EPUB. Once I do (I’m about 20% through at the moment), I’ll link it for anyone who’d like to add it to their Nook, Kindle or (whatever) eReader. My version lacks footnotes (haven’t figured out how to do that using Sigil) and is in English. Anyone who prefers the original Latin can find it at the Latin Library (also in HTML). I’m debating on whether to try a combined English/Latin version. Not sure whether I’m that energetic or not, but we’ll see.

Update: I did finish with Volume 1 of the Loeb Classical Library edition that was hosted at WikiSource. Not being terribly good at figuring out how to do footnotes and such in XHTML, I had to leave those off. It has no DRM, so all you should need to do is download it and drop it into your favorite eReader device.

Update: I finished with Volume 2 of the Loeb Classical Libary edition that was hosted at WikiSource. Still haven’t figured out how to do footnotes for an EPUB. Volume 3 is in the chute, but I got distracted (a common occurrence - perhaps Ritalin?) and ended up putting together an EPUB version of On Benefits (De Beneficiis) instead, also from the Loeb Classical Library. Currently working on the Bohn’s Classical Library edition of Seneca’s Minor Dialogs and will upload and link it when it’s ready.
