This project was made possible by a generous grant from the Brittingham Foundation.

Thanks go to Steven Dast and Sandra Paske of the Microimaging Laboratory and Digital Production Facility, who worked with Georgen Gilliam in producing high-quality scans of both letterpress pages and full-page hand-colored engravings. The largest, full-color digital images required "stitching" together two halves of the circular plates, a project to which Steven applied much care and expertise.

Robert A. Nelsen produced a thoughtful transcription of the engraved text. He is working with Peter Gorman of the Library Technology Group to encode that transcription according to the standards of the Text Encoding Initiative (TEI). We have also enjoyed the learned counsel of Prof. William Courtenay (History and Classics) and Prof. James McKeown (Classics).
