Nicolás Vaughan

Associate Professor and Director, Department of Humanities and Literature

I work on medieval philosophy and Latin texts, especially the logic and semantics of William of Ockham and his contemporaries, and on digital scholarly editions of classical and medieval works. I'm adjunct editor of the online critical edition of Adam Wodeham's Ordinatio and an editor of Programming Historian en español.

py-words: a Latin dictionary with morphology

Look up any inflected Latin word, or a whole line of Latin, and get its forms and dictionary entries with meanings in English or Spanish, or find the Latin for an English or Spanish word. It is William Whitaker's WORDS, rewritten in Python, and runs entirely in your browser, with nothing to install.
