| UPOS | converted with corrections |
| XPOS | manual native |
| Features | converted with corrections |
| Relations | manual native |

UD scale: *manual native* — annotated by hand directly in UD; *converted from manual* — converted from manual annotation in another scheme; *converted with corrections* — converted and partly corrected by hand; *automatic with corrections* — automatic, with partial manual corrections; *automatic* — automatic; *not available* — the layer is absent.

Tokens are surface tokens (Spanish `vámonos` is one), words are syntactic words (`vamos` + `nos`); multiword tokens are those split into several words; empty nodes are the `N.M` nodes of the enhanced graph.

## Summary

> The **UDante** treebank is based on the Latin texts of Dante Alighieri, taken from the [**DanteSearch corpus**](https://dantesearch.dantenetwork.it), originally created at the University of Pisa, Italy.
> 
> It is a treebank of Latin language, more precisely of **literary Medieval Latin** (XIVth century).

## Introduction

> This treebank includes 1 721 sentences (57 242 syntactic words) and consists of literary texts (letters, treatises, poetry). The treebank is licensed under the terms of [CC BY-NC-SA 3.0](http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/3.0/).
> 
> **UDante** includes the following Latin texts (mostly) by Dante Alighieri, or disputedly attibuted to him:
> 
> - *De vulgari eloquentia*: 13 873 syntactic words for 421 sentences over 2 books
> - *Monarchia*: 23403 syntactic words for 682 sentences over 3 books
> - *Letters*: 11 993 syntactic words for 376 sentences over 13 letters
> - *Questio de aqua et terra*: 5 243 syntactic words for 133 sentences
> - *Eclogues*: 2 730 syntactic words for 111 sentences over 4 eclogues
> 
> The syntactic annotation of the **UDante** treebank has been created through a manual annotation process performed in the context of a collaboration between the University of Pisa (responsible: Mirko Tavoni) and the [**LiLa: Linking Latin project**](https://lila-erc.eu) at the Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore, Milan, Italy (PI: Marco Passarotti). The annotation process was co-ordinated by Flavio Massimiliano Cecchini, Giovanni Moretti and Rachele Sprugnoli (all based at the Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore).
