A Note on transliterations

In presenting this text of the Moriae Encomium, I immediately encountered a major difficulty. HTML in its present state cannot support more than one font style in a document, but Erasmus scatters throughout the text Greek words and phrases. For these Greek bits, I have italicized Latin alphabet letters and resorted to using the following set of very unoriginal one-to-one correspondences between the Greek and Latin alphabets:

alpha = a

beta = b

gamma = g

delta = d

epsilon = e

zeta = z

eta = ê

theta = th

iota = i

kappa = k

lambda = l

mu = m

nu = n

xi = x

omicron = o

pi = p

rho = r

sigma = s

tau = t

upsilon = u

phi = ph

chi = ch

psi = ps

omega = ô

Rough breathing is, of course, indicated by an 'h' before a word, and accentuation is left to your best guesses, o gentle reader.
