Some typos
I’ve gone through the index nominum for cantos I-IV and have some observations that, I hope, are helpful.
Some typos to correct in the encoding:
Agrippina Maggiore is really Agrippina Minore;
Alcipiade should be Alcibiade;
Gaio Antonio should be added;
Antonio, Marco duplicates Marco Antonio;
Aristotene should be added;
Arunte should be Arruns;
Asclepiade the philosopher should be added;
Benedetto is the same as Boniface VIII;
Capi should be Capis;
Dionisio the Younger should be added;
Diotima should be Diutima;
Eune should be Eune Maura;
Since we have other personifications (e.g. Onore), we should add Filosofia;
Galeno, Claudio should be just Galieno;
We should add “san” to Gregorio, just for the sake of consistency;
Iaso should be Iasio;
Igino should be Iginio;
We should add the collective Inglesi;
Lucia and Lucia, santa should be merged;
Anco, Marcio should be changed to Marcio, Anco;
Marco Annenio should be merged with Seneca;
The Minturnesi are collective;
The first Nerone is the same as Domizio, Gneo;
Poppeia should be Poppeia Sabina;
The two entries for Proculo should be merged;
Roboam should be added;
Sciti should be Scizi;
The three entries for Silvio could be clarified by making them: Silvio, Enea; Silvio, Postumo Giulio; Silvio, Latinus.
Simone should be Simone Mago;
Tolomeo Feludense is the same as Tolomeo, Claudio.
Of course, if anyone notices a problem with any of this, please let me know. I’ve put together a list of the English equivalents and will send them shortly to Vika. There are, however, some more problems of a different nature that I’ll bring up in another post.

Thanks, Mike! As my (incoming) email to you indicates, I’ll make these changes tomorrow in the afternoon.
Let’s try to keep the discussion of names in the forum, here: http://brown.edu/Departments/Italian_Studies/vhl/forum/ - this way we’ll have an easier time figuring out whether something has already been said about a specific entry.
I think I’d like to change the English name for Trasimeno to Lake Trasimene. Any objections?
