Important notice for cataloguers: New and relocated MARC record sets for the Latin full-text databases

The MARC records for our Latin full-text databases – the Library of Latin Texts (LLT), the Archive of Celtic Latin Literature (ACLL), the Aristoteles Latinus Database (ALD), and the Electronic Monumenta Germaniae Historica (eMGH) – are now available for download directly from the databases.

As a result, the old Marc Records application will soon be removed from the BREPOLiS website.

As we have recently completed the data restructure of all four of these databases (see our previous blog post for more info), new sets of MARC records have been created to replace all previous ones. Institutional subscribers should update the links in their library catalogue accordingly if they haven’t done so already.

The new MARC records are available for download directly from the databases under the menu item “MORE” > “MARC”.

The Marc records for the online database Sources Chrétiennes Online (SCO) had already been available for download in the database itself under the menu item “More” > “Marc records”. A new set of Marc records for SCO will become available for download as soon as the SCO has received a new interface and data structure (scheduled for this spring).

BREPOLiS Newsletter : Explore the Latest Enhancements

Over the past year, we have been implementing major enhancements across our bibliographic and full-text databases—improvements designed to make the use of our databases more accessible, intuitive, and efficient.
In 2026, you will experience the full impact of these developments: redesigned interfaces and improved data models are now available for all bibliographies and will become available for all full-text databases. The citation plugin will establish itself as an essential benefit for users of our bibliographies, while the number of citations will increase significantly in the course of 2026. These upgrades, combined with further updates planned for selected Latin databases this year, ensure that our platform sets the standard for innovation and user experience.

Stay tuned—this newsletter will provide detailed insights into what’s new and how you can make the most of these enhancements. Download the Newsletter here.

Database of Latin Dictionaries: Important update

We are glad to announce that the Database of Latin Dictionaries‘ new interface has been launched. This change of interface not only allows for more advanced search options (including, for instance, the possibility to look for phrases rather than just single headwords), but it also includes a first version of the Brepolis Latin lemmas, prepared by the Centre ‘Traditio Litterarum Occidentalium’ in order to strengthen the link between dictionaries and attestations in the full-text databases.

If you are already a DLD user and want to know what are the main differences between the old and the new search interface, we invite you to have a look at this short video:
