Regarding the sources: It's amazing how much of the Latin corpus still hasn't been translated to English. (I'm working on a much later set of NeoLatin translations) I've found there are great tools like OCR4all and alpheios.net — but there is a huge amount of specialized labor involved and virtually no funding.
