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:
The Centre ‘Traditio Litterarum Occidentalium’ (CTLO), Brepols’ in-house Digital Humanities lab, is pleased to invite you to its webinar “Enhancing your lexicographical research with the new DLD and ALD interfaces”.
Exciting developments have recently taken place with the launch of the new database structures and user interfaces for the Database of Latin Dictionaries and Aristoteles Latinus Database, and we’re thrilled to present them to you in our upcoming webinar. Join the collaborators of Brepols’ Centre “Traditio Litterarum Occidentalium” (CTLO) for a 30-minute session providing an in-depth overview of the new interfaces in general and of the CTLO’s new lemma database in particular.
Whether you’re a researcher, a student, or a librarian, this webinar will showcase the ways in which these tools can enhance your exploration of lexicographical problems. From interconnecting the various Brepolis Latin databases to facilitating your understanding of source texts, the benefits of these new tools are vast. We’ll conclude the session with an opportunity for you to engage with the CTLO team, so come prepared with your questions and feedback. Don’t miss out on this exciting opportunity – register for the webinar today!
The Database of Latin Dictionaries (DLD) has been updated. This update includes the ‘Encyclopedic Dictionary of Roman Law’ by Adolf Berger (1953), as well as improvements to the other dictionaries.
Stay tuned for the new interface, which will go live in the coming weeks!
The Sources Chrétiennes Online (SCO) database was updated. It now provides source texts and French translations from 456 of the 625 printed volumes. Some notable additions are Origen’s Contra Celsum, the Rule of St Benedict, and William of St-Thierry’s Mirror of Faith.
By 2025, the SCO database will cover all volumes by then published in print in the long-running Sources Chrétiennes edition project. In this latest update, historical authors have also been provided with links to external authority files (to be expanded), and it has become possible to click on to the corresponding headwords in theDatabase of Latin Dictionaries through the short definitions for Latin words in the Instrumenta pop-up.
Nous avons le plaisir de vous annoncer qu’un webinaire sur la Database of Latin Dictionaries (DLD) sera organisé ce 9 février à 11h du matin.
La Database of Latin Dictionaries constitue une base de données comprenant un grand nombre de dictionnaires latins mis en ligne au bénéfice des chercheurs et des étudiants. Cette base de données est progressivement amplifiée et elle comprend différents types de dictionnaires: dictionnaires bilingues ou plurilingues qui proposent les traductions des mots latins dans les langues vernaculaires, dictionnaires de recherche de haut niveau, dictionnaires historiques.
Ce mercredi 9 février à 11 h, nous donnerons une courte présentation en ligne de cette base de données en français.
Cette présentation est destinée aux bibliothécaires, aux chercheurs et aux étudiants.
Il n’est nul besoin d’installer un programme spécifique (la présentation se déroule via Microsoft Teams). Il suffit d’avoir accès à un ordinateur avec une connexion internet, et d’activer le son. Nous vous recommandons de couper le son de votre micro durant la présentation afin d’éviter les bruits de fond dérangeants.
Qui ? Le personnel de la bibliothèque, le personnel académique et les étudiants concernés.
Quand? Le mercredi 9 février à 11h.
Durée: environ 15 min.
Contenu: Une présentation de la base de données « Database of Latin Dictionaries » suivie d’une session de Questions/Réponses
Comment? En nous envoyant simplement un courriel de confirmation avant le lundi 7 février 15h.
