Another source for novels?

[christofs]

There are 21 novels in XML-TEI included in this collection, with relatively little overlap with what is already online here; maybe it is worth getting some from there? https://github.com/cligs/textbox/tree/master/italian/romanzi

Happy to have a go at converting them -- I have a CLIGS-to-ELTEC convertor somewhere -- if you like.
BTW, it doesnt seem to be possible to download just this bit of the CLIGS textbox from github.

Hi Lou, thanks. Yes, why not import and convert the non-overlapping ones. Unless someone from the Italian team would first like to check whether these novels are useful from the point of view of the sampling criteria.

Right, the individual collections are not separate repositories so Github only lets you download the whole thing. Not ideal, admittedly. I'll mention it to the team.

Shortly after posting this comment, I noticed that I had already hoovered up a copy of the entire CLIGS repo some time ago, so this is not a problem (my internet connexion from France is a bit limited) . I ran my my convertor on one of the texts with encouraging results, but need for a few more tweaks.
