Why would the corpus need to be limited to antique latin? The language was in use for much longer than antiquity. You've got everything from Thomas Aquinas to Isaac Newton to pad with.

Because they are almost different languages "modern" latin is quite different to "roman" latin.
Even roman latin changed during the millennium it was around though.
