Just in time for #NAPS26, the Patristic Text Archive (pta.bbaw.de) got the long overdue functional update: Each text is now automatically analysed. This is the basis for our new and improved search interface (search with #CQL and not only for words, but also for lemma and POS) and dictionary widget.
