Juxta

Posted on December 31, 2012 by Christopher Ohge

I would like to propose a session on the Juxta collation software. I understand this is a very good tool for textual editing, but I’m wondering if it can be manipulated for comparing, say, different translations of the Aeneid. Ideally, too, I’d like to know the difference between Juxta & the new Juxta commons.

    I’ve been thinking about trying Juxta in creative writing classes, to get students comparing earlier versus later drafts of their own work. In short, I’d be interested in knowing more about Juxta as well.

    I’ve also been thinking about ways of using Juxta for translation — comparing translations of a work over time and following the progress of a translation as it develops.
