Description

Dear Mr. Murphy,

I went to Perseus 4.0 (Hopper's) source website and downloaded the sources, and found that the reason textcritical is missing the authors that are on Perseus is in fact Perseus' own open source data files don't have these. Given that perseus 4.0 is no longer being actively maintained, it is unlikely that we can persuade them to update their data source. However I'll try to ask the site maintainer.

So this is not the fault of textcritical at all.

In case you have some intention of adding these missing authors, the Perseus' data collection is on github, and also in xml format:
https://github.com/PerseusDL/canonical-greekLit

They contain some but not all of the missing data.

An alternative source of raw, unedited text is wiki source, ironically:
https://el.wikisource.org/wiki/%CE%9A%CE%B1%CF%84%CE%B7%CE%B3%CE%BF%CF%81%CE%AF%CE%B1:%CE%A3%CF%85%CE%B3%CE%B3%CF%81%CE%B1%CF%86%CE%B5%CE%AF%CF%82-%CE%91

Thank you again for making text critical available for all.

Best Regards
Jiang Qian
