I don't know about Ancient Romans, but I do know a few Italian men with numbered names. In particular a Decimo (tenth), who was indeed the tenth (and I wouldn't swear the last). They are all, unsurprisingly, old :)

Thank you! It's all in the initial HTML payload. Each word in Italian, its translation in English, and the corresponding sidenote, if any, all have a common `data-id`. When the mouse hovers on a word, the corresponding note gets a `.vi

Greek is sadly out of my reach, but I'm very curious about this Discord you mentioned. Could you, here or by email, point it out to me? After this website has "settled" a bit, it might be fun to look into that Latin :)

> I would add the year of composition in the list: 'Oct 10, Tacciono i boschi e i fiumi (1591), by Torquato Tasso' There's a list-by-composition date page, but indeed, that makes a lot of sense. Will add! > How will we

Thanks! Yes, I was thinking of cleaning up the repo and make it public in a while, though honestly it's not too pretty ^^ And yes, Leopardi is coming: I have Il Sabato del villaggio almost ready to go :)

I'll admit it's not an obvious choice at all, but it's documented in the Guide ;) Your idea is worth considering, but since it's at a lower granularity, I'll try and see if I there's a better way to trigger the

Eventually, yes, it's a must :) The question is, which pieces. The whole thing is impossibly too long. So far I have one request for the Paolo and Francesca episode. Feel free to suggest other parts!

I was actually thinking of doing the same for Latin... Now the infrastructure is built, so the effort should be much smaller (but I'd need of course much more support from an expert ^^ ). Do you think it might have an audience?
