Orbis Sensualium Pictus

After a few years of lazily speaking Latin without much diligence or study, I've decided to try to return to my former goal of commiting the Orbis Pictus to memory. This still to me seems like one of the best ways to quickly develop a wide vocabulary of everday topics. To reach this goal I want: 1) a transcript of the Latin text with macros, 2) a memory aid with all but the first letter of each word removed (i.e. mundus -> m----).

Workflow

I am working with a 1887 English Edition found here: https://archive.org/details/cu3192403249945

Personally, I'm don't have the best eye for where macrons should go, so I am using this tool here: http://alatius.com/macronizer/ and consulting the dictionary when an ambiguity is marked. If you notice a macron missing or in the wrong place, please let me know either by creating a GitHub issue, or by email ([email protected]).
