We are glad to let you know that the database Sources Chrétiennes Online has been updated with a new tool called ‘Instrumenta‘. Instrumenta provides you with suggestions of translation and morphological analysis in a pop-up, for the Latin words encountered in the texts of the database. The tool is now in a first version, but will be expanded and improved in the next quarterly updates.
In this webinar, we will provide a short introduction (about 30 min.) to our full-text databases like the Sources Chrétiennes Online, the Library of Latin Texts, the Database of Latin Dictionaries, L’Année Philologique and the Dictionnaire des philosophes antiques.
When? On Tuesday June 30th at 2pm CEST.
We are pleased to inform you that a webinar about the database Sources Chrétiennes Online will be organized on Wednesday April, 15th at 11am EST / 5 pm CET.
Launched in 1942, the “Sources Chrétiennes” series has provided some 600 critical editions of texts from the Church Fathers. More precisely, the series consists of editions-with-translations of Christian texts in Greek and Latin, but also in oriental languages, such as Syriac, Aramaic and Georgian.

Dans le contexte actuel, Brepols cherche de nouvelles façons de communiquer avec ses partenaires. A cet effet, nous avons décidé d’offrir aux utilisateurs de nos bases de données la possibilité de suivre des présentations en ligne sur ces outils. La première présentation porte sur la nouvelle base de données Sources Chrétiennes Online.
La collection Sources Chrétiennes lancée en 1942 comporte aujourd’hui 600 volumes consacrés aux textes latins, grecques et orientaux des Pères de l’Eglise. En janvier 2020, Brepols a lancé une version en ligne sur son site www.brepolis.net qui comporte déjà 200 volumes. Vous trouverez davantage d’informations sur cette base de données sur ce lien.
Ce mardi 7 avril à 11 heures, 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.
La vidéo de la présentation est disponible ci-dessous:

Please note that a Webinar in English will be organized later this month.
Détails pratiques :
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.
