H. Smyth - Greek melic poets [1900]

Am observat ca multi bloggeri preiau informatii din tundra nenorocita a Internetului fara nici un fel de discernamant. Exista din ce in ce mai multe situri ce ofera optiunea embed this book on your blog. Unul dintre ele este si Internet Archive, care ofera o cantitate deloc neglijabila de carti cu tematica filologica, istorica sau filosofica, editii de texte etc. Problema este insa urmatoarea: foarte multe din volumele oferite de catre Internet Archive sunt deficitare, si aceasta din mai multe cauze. Iata doar cateva cu care m-am confruntat personal:

• scanarea este uneori atat de proasta, incat textul devine ilizibil. Iar situatia este cu atat mai grava cand avem de-a face cu texte in limba greaca, spre exemplu.
  
• paginile sunt taiate, de multe ori, prost, ele oferind doar jumatate din textul original.
• de foarte multe ori lipsesc pagini intregi sau, cele care sunt, sunt aranjate total haotic, nerespectand nici un fel de ordine.
  

Volumul pe care vi-l ofer in acest post nu face exceptie de la punctele insirate mai sus: lipseau o multime de pagini (din peste 700 cate avea in original, am mai ramas cu vreo 500), introducerea era total dezordonata (i.e. dupa pg. 3 urma pg. 20, iar dupa pg. 70 urma pg. 4) ceea ce facea imposibila o lectura coerenta a textului, iar alte pagini (i.e. 545, 547, 557) sunt taiate prost, primele litere ale cuvintelor lipsind. Avand in vedere acest lucru, am taiat tot ce nu era cursiv (adica intreaga Introducere) lasand doar textul in sine a volumului - deosebit de valoros de altfel.

Stiu ca amicii de la Patrologia greaca, latina si orientala ofera volume preluate in marea lor majoritate din Internet Archive si Gallica (un alt sit celebru pentru oferta de volume rare), care Gallica are cam aceleasi probleme cu IA in ceea ce priveste calitatea textului.

Asadar ma intreb: oare chiar sa conteze atat de mult cantitatea postarilor? Sau mai bine de luat fiecare volum ce urmeaza a fi postat la periat, de identificat si inlaturat - in masura posibila - paginile deficitare si de semnalat cele care au probleme si nu pot fi inlaturate sau lipsesc cu desavarsire. Iar daca aceste probleme sunt prea multe, volumul nu mai trebuie postat pentru ca nimeni nu va castiga nimic de pe urma lui! E clar, cine se va apuca sa purice toata Bibliotheca Symbolica a lui Philip Schaff sau Opera Omnia a lui Bossuet, varianta Internet Archive, sa vada daca nu lipsesc pagini etc.?! Doar un nebun o va face... Ei bine, de acesti nebuni avem nevoie, cred eu, si nu de arhivari inutili, care se grabesc sa mai puna cate ceva nou in rafturile deja supraincarcate ale Internetului.
