Format of .col files

[nivaca]

Hi, I would like to decompress the .col files (the dictionaries), but I have not found the proper format they are in. Could you please help me with that? Thanks. Nicolas Vaughan

Dear Nicolas,

The .col files are in a strange binary format that contains strings compressed and decompressed using Qt qCompress and qUncompress functions. I can't tell you more about these functions, except that they are zip-like but not zip-compatible.

Why do you want/need to decompress the .col files ?

Yours,

    Philippe.

Dear Phillipe, Thanks for your reply. I would like to have direct access to the dictionary contents. Best wishes, Nicolas

A good manner to do that is to install Collatinus, and then to

pick the dictionaries you need in .../directory_where_is_collatinus/data/lemmes.* Cheers, -- Yves Ouvrard

Hi Yves, Thanks for your suggestion. It worked fine.

Edit: However, I now get a some .cz files which are still compressed and hence inaccessible.

Best, Nicolas

I assume that you have the same problem with the .cz format (c for Collatinus and z for Zipped, but with Qt qCompress). The underlying string-format is HTML but the information is the same as the original TeX (for Gaffiot) or XML (for L&S) files, which are available in different places :

• http://gerardgreco.free.fr/spip.php?article47
• https://github.com/helmadik/LewisShortLogeion The Lewis&Short comes from Perseus with the original funny name "1999.04.0059.xml". But the Logeion version has been improved by Helma Dik. The version in Collatinus has been corrected independently and it would be interesting to collect both sets of corrections (but the direct comparison cannot be made automatically). If you are interested, let me know (out of github comments would be better). Just to give figures : the comparison of the letter "A" took me about one month (July 2020, resulting in corrections that are not yet in Collatinus).

The recently added dictionaries are available on the web :

• Jeanneau : http://www.prima-elementa.fr/Dico.htm
• Ramminger : http://nlw.renaessancestudier.org/words/start.htm
• Köbler : http://www.koeblergerhard.de/Mittellatein-HP/VorwortMlat-HP.htm

Yours,

    Philippe.

Dear Phillipe,

Thanks for your message. The XML version of the L&S was very interesting. I was also interested in the Ramminger, but I found no downloadable version in the web page you mentioned.

All best,

Nicolas

It's right : I have a collection of 21,115 files. I try to change my program to produce a readable HTML file.

Philippe.

You'll find the HTML version of Ramminger's dictionary there : https://filesender.renater.fr/?s=download&token=7fa545bc-a3a0-45c2-97a5-47599c157db0

As Collatinus does not need the alphabetical order (in the file of the dictionary), the lemmata come as they are in the numbered original files. I have to change dramatically my program to order the entries, so I hope it is fine for you. If needed, you can find the alphabetically ordered list of the entries in the first column of Ramminger_2020-jan20.idx you have in Collatinus (copy it, rename it .csv and open it with LibreOffice for instance, the ":" is the column separator).

Yours,

    Philippe.
