Dyalogus Creaturarum Moralizatus (2020)

Dyalogus Creaturarum Moralizatus
Dyalogus Creaturarum Moralizatus is a collection of
122 Latin-language fables and, as the title implies, dialogues
of creatures (moralized), here presented as a raw
OCR text made with Tesseract 4.0 (fraktur). The text
has not been proof read, only slightly edited to fit the
format.
To generate this text Johann Snell’s edition of Dyalogus
Creaturarum Moralizatus from 1483 (the first book
ever to get printed in Sweden) was used. The original
was scanned by Sweden’s national library in 2015, and
made in to OCR text by Project Runeberg January 2020,
where it was copied from same month.
The author is unknown, but surviving manuscripts suggest
the fables may have been gathered and edited by
either Mayno de Mayneri (Magninus Mediolanensis) or
Nicolaus Pergamenus, both active in the 14th century.
A number of the fables are from Aesop, such as The Lion’s
Share, The Frog and the Ox and The Wolf and the
Lamb.
