+%  For documentation see:
+%  C. Beccari, "Computer aided hyphenation for Italian and Modern
+%        Latin", TUG vol. 13, n. 1, pp. 23-33 (1992)

+%
+%  In the former paper  the  code  was  described  as  being contained in file
+%  ITALAT.TEX; this is substantially the same code,  but  the  file  has  been
+%  renamed and included in hyph-utf8.
+%
+%  A corresponding file (ITHYPH.TEX) has been extracted in order to  eliminate
+%  the  (few)  patterns specific to Latin and leave those specific to Italian;
+%  ITHYPH.TEX has been further  extended  with  many  new patterns in order to
+%  cope with the many neologisms and technical terms with foreign roots.
+%
+%  Should you find any word that gets hyphenated in a wrong way, please, AFTER
+%  CHECKING  ON A RELIABLE MODERN DICTIONARY, report to the author, preferably
+%  by e-mail.  Please  do  not  report  about  wrong  break  points concerning
+%  prefixes and/or suffixes; see at the bottom of this file.
+%
+%  Compared with the previous versions, this file has been extended so  as  to
+%  cope also with the medieval Latin spelling, where the letter `V' played the
+%  roles of both `U' and `V', as in the Roman times, save that the Romans used
+%  only capitals. In the middle ages the availability of soft writing supports
+%  and the necessity of copying books with a reasonable speed, several scripts
+%  evolved  in  (practically)  all  of  which  there was a lower case alphabet
+%  different from the upper case  one,  and  where  the lower case `v' had the
+%  rounded shape of our modern lower case `u', and where the Latin  diphthongs
+%  `AE'  and  `OE',  both in upper and lower case, where written as ligatures,
+%  not to mention the habit of  substituting  them with their sound, that is a
+%  simple `E'.
+%
+%  According  to  Leon  Battista  Alberti,  who  in  1466  wrote  a  book   on
+%  cryptography  where  he  thoroughly  analyzed  the hyphenation of the Latin
+%  language of his (still  medieval)  times,  the  differences from the Tuscan
+%  language (the Italian language, as it was named  at  his  time)  were  very
+%  limited,  in particular for what concerns the handling of the ascending and
+%  descending diphthongs; in  Central  and  Northern  Europe,  and later on in
+%  North America, the Scholars perceived the above diphthongs as made  of  two
+%  distinct  vowels;  the  hyphenation of medieval Latin, therefore, was quite
+%  different in the northern countries compared to the southern ones, at least
+%  for what concerns these  diphthongs.  If  you need hyphenation patterns for
+%  medieval Latin that suite you better according to the  habits  of  Northern
+%  Europe  you  should  resort  to the hyphenation patterns prepared by Yannis
+%  Haralambous (TUGboat, vol.13 n.4 (1992)).
+%
+%
+%
+%                            PREFIXES AND SUFFIXES
+%
+% For what concerns prefixes and suffixes, the latter are generally  separated
+% according  to  "natural"  syllabification,  while  the  former are generally
+% divided etimologically. In order to  avoid  an excessive number of patterns,
+% care has been paid to some prefixes,  especially  "ex",  "trans",  "circum",
+% "prae",  but  this set of patterns is NOT capable of separating the prefixes
+% in all circumstances.
+%
+%                         BABEL SHORTCUTS AND FACILITIES
+%
+% Read  the  documentation  coming  with the discription of the Latin language
+% interface of  Babel  in  order  to  see  the  shortcuts  and  the facilities
+% introduced in order to facilitate the insertion  of  "compound  word  marks"
+% which are very useful for inserting etimological break points.
+%
+% Happy Latin and multilingual typesetting!
