Showcase of Dante Tools

A semester-long independent study project based on shell scripts I wrote to count the frequency of each word in any canto (stored at https://gitlab.com/lhess2021/divina-commandline).

This website houses the following tools that can be used to analyze the Divine Comedy:

  1. Word count lists: four lists per canto of the words in that canto alongside their count. The four lists are of the word count: 1) sorted numerically; 2) sorted numerically, with word blacklist; 3) sorted alphabetically; and 4) sorted alphabetically, with word blacklist.
  2. Word count search tool: search a word and get a table with the count of that word in each canto.
  3. Generic proof-of-concept word search tool: searches through XML word tags (<w>word</w>) and returns table of each line containing the word alongside the canticle, canto number, and line number.
