Rhetorica Ad Herennium

The end goal of this project is to create a functional and nicely formatted eBook version of Harry Caplan's English translation of "[Cicero]: Rhetorica ad Herennium" by the Loeb Classical Library. This book was published in 1954 by the Harvard University Press, ISBN: 9780674994447. More information about this book can be seen at Harvard University Press. The book is now in the Public Domain, and the vast majority of the hard work of transcribing this text into digital work has already been done, as can be found at LacusCurtius.

However, there is no plain text transcription, only the HTML version. Once the HTML source is covnerted into plain text, that text will then be copied and formatted into an eBook format. This repository will serve as an archive for the plain text conversion process. The actual eBook formatting will likely be done in a seperate project, which will later be linked here. The plan is to use the Standard Ebooks toolkit/process to produce the eBook, as their formatting and style standards are very high.
