Wikipedia in Latin: Vicipaedia Latina
Posted by Celia Walter | 23 Nov, 2008Vicipaedia Latina
This website is a Latin language version of the popular online encyclopaedia Wikipedia. As with the English site, users contribute articles to this evolving reference source on a range of topics; in this case, however, all entries are in Latin. Articles vary in length and detail, but many are illustrated and fully referenced. A wide variety of themes is covered here. Broad topics which feature are: art and literature; human sciences; natural sciences and mathematics; technology; society; and the Latin language. Each of these is divided into sub-sections which makes the site easy to navigate. Many of the more detailed articles are on classical themes (dealing with, for example, Greek and Roman authors or other key historical figures). There is also a search facility. Whilst caution must be exercised as the quality of submissions may vary, Vicipaedia Latina is nonetheless a lighthearted way for users to exercise their linguistic skills. Intute.ac.uk
