The Latin and Italian Versions of the Gesta regum Sclavorum: Preprocessed Texts and Corpus Analysis Scripts

This dataset contains the preprocessed Latin and Italian texts of the Gesta regum Sclavorum and the Python scripts used for their comparative corpus-linguistic analysis. The Italian text derives from Mauro Orbini’s Il regno degli Slavi. The deposited material supports analyses of lexical diversity, average word and sentence length, content and function words, and the distribution of personal names and person-referring pronouns. It includes preprocessed texts, scripts, intermediate and final results, manually reviewed data, metadata, and README files. The material is provided to facilitate the transparency, verification, and reproducibility of the quantitative analyses conducted for the study of the direction of translation between the Latin and Italian versions of the Gesta regum Sclavorum, presented in Application of Corpus Linguistics in Historiography (On the Authenticity of Gesta regum Sclavorum) (Kunčer 2026).
