The purpose of the CURSUS project is to employ the Extensible Markup Language (XML), together with transformations performed by the Extensible Stylesheet Language (XSLT), to make data from sources of medieval Latin liturgy available on the Web. The project was funded 2000 - 2003 by a major research grant from the Arts and Humanities Research Board of the UK.
The project was conceived and lead by David Chadd. During its funded period Dr. James Cummings acted as research associate and undertook most of the technical aspects of the work as well as some transcriptions. David continued to work on the transcriptions (and oversaw the implementation of a full-text search facility for the project by Richard Lewis) after the end of the funded period up until his death in November 2006. It is now planned that the transcribed text should be deposited at the Oxford Text Archive at which James Cummings is currently employed.
