Abstract

The Cervantes Project, housed under the auspices of the Center for the Study of Digital Libraries at Texas A&M University, aims to provide a comprehensive on-line research and reference site on the life and works of the author Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra (1547–1616). This activity is a joint collaboration among researchers in the Department of Computer Science and the Department of Modern and Classical Languages, Texas A&M University. This paper outlines the work being conducted by the project, focusing on the creation of an Electronic Variorum Edition of Cervantes’ Don Quixote.

Authors are listed in alphabetical order. Richard Furuta, Siddarth S. Kalasapur, and Rajiv Kochumman also are affiliated with the Department of Computer Science. Eduardo Urbina and Ricardo Vivancos-Pérez also are affiliated with the Department of Modern and Classical Languages. The project’s Web pages are at http://www.csdl.tamu.edu/cervantes/
