What Users Will Find

Brepols Publishers remains committed to developing new tools to make its various electronic databases more user-friendly. To this end, Brepols offers the ‘Cross-Database Searchtool’.

This interface allows the user to search various Latin full-text databases simultaneously, namely the Library of Latin Texts, Monumenta Germaniae Historica, Archive of Celtic-Latin Literature and the Aristoteles Latinus Database.

As a result, users who have access to these different databases are able to use this common interface to conduct a search of the various corpora.

The search-fields of ‘Cross-Database Searchtool’ are Period, Author, Work, Century, and Word-forms, in other words the same fields that are found in the five databases.

Of course, users who want to obtain the best results can continue to search each database individually.
