Extract of the IT-TB Latin treebank annotated according to UD standards

New UD conversion of the Index Thomisticus Treebank

On 15th November Universal Dependencies (UD) released version 2.3 of its set of annotated treebanks. Thanks to the work of our very own Flavio M. Cecchini and Marco C. Passarotti, and of our Czech colleague Dan Zeman (Prague), UD now includes a new and improved conversion of the Index Thomisticus Treebank (IT-TB). 🤠
