Commentary Production Platform

From annotation
to edition.

Commentarius takes classical texts from raw notes to press-quality commentary — morphological analysis, vocabulary, grammatical notes, and apparatus, typeset for print, the web, and the classroom.

The workflow

One pipeline, from source text to the shelf

Every stage of commentary production lives in one workspace — so nothing is retyped, reformatted, or lost between drafts.

I · Prepare

Assemble your sources

Bring in texts and existing scholarship, and shape raw material into clean working notes.

Projects Texts, notes, and outputs in one workspace Merge Sources Unify notes from multiple commentaries Format Notes Rough annotations into structured commentary

II · Analyze

Write with the engine

Word-by-word morphology, syntax, and grammar, cited to Allen & Greenough and verified before it reaches your commentary.

Servius Draft commentary for uncommented texts

III · Publish

Typeset every format

The same commentary, delivered as a LaTeX book, a DCC-style web edition, or a classroom handout.

The engine

Grammar you can cite, not just believe

Commentarius pairs a hand-built rule engine — hundreds of grammatical rules encoding Allen & Greenough — with a language model fine-tuned on curated classical texts. Every analysis is cross-checked before it reaches your commentary, and every claim carries its citation.
