Okay, so far not much in the Languages
section. I've begun putting up the Hieroglyphs
area, but that is going to be a LOOOONG project,
so don't hold your breath. Still not sure what I'm going
to do with the Anglo-Saxon, and haven't even started the Latin.

Hieroglyphs
I'm working on a webbed version of Egyptian Hieroglyphic Grammar, by Samuel Alfred Brown Mercer. The text is now in the public domain, and when I took hieroglyphs this is the textbook I used. This is FAR from done. So far I've put up:

The Table of Contents
The Introduction
Chapter 1

Plus a short introduction to the book, and a font which is need for transliterations to display properly. I am not happy with this font, as it is practically illegible at 14 point, and I'm looking into alternatives; either I will find another font which looks better, or I will make my own. In fact, I've already made my own, but it's even less legible than the original, so I haven't put it up yet.

Latin
I'm planning on putting up a copy of Serpentum et Draconum Historiae by Ulysses Aldrovandi. Written in 1600, this book is a "history" of snakes and dragons. I am thinking specifically of putting up the second section of the book, which is concerned with dragons. Mythical beasts -- and the history of how societies have percieved them -- fascinate me. My university has a copy. However, the book is rather long, and will take a LONG time to copy out and translate into English. So don't hold your breath waiting for THIS project, either. I have other things to do too.

Anglo-Saxon
More commonly known as Old English, this is the language spoken in England prior to the Norman conquest but after the Roman withdrawal in 410. I don't quite know what I'll put up for this. I'll think of something, eventually.
