Update of the Dictionnaire d’histoire et de géographie ecclésiastiques

We are glad to announce that the Dictionnaire d’histoire et de géographie ecclésiastiques Online (DHGE) has been updated. The articles from fascicle 197 (ÁLVAREZ DE ALBORNOZ (Gil) – ZAVAGLIO) are now available.

The DHGE is an unparalleled source of information for anyone interested in the history of the Church. It comprises a vast amount of information: 30 volumes, 70,000 entries and sub-entries, over 50,000 columns by specialists, aimed at an academic readership. Every year, about 1000 articles are updated to further enrich the database.

Brepolis Databases on a Timeline

The BREPOLiS platform currently offers access to 24 databases in a broad variety of research areas of the Humanities. Because it is sometimes difficult to clearly identify the chronological demarcation of each database, we have brought them together in a convenient timeline.

A more detailed version of the timeline, including additional information on the ‘Typology’ of the various databases, the languages they cover, or the product clusters they belong to, can be downloaded here (PDF file).
