Our Aims and Scopes

The powerful search engine developed by the Centre ‘Traditio Litterarum Occidentalium’ and Brepols Publishers allows unparalleled exploitation of this important body of texts, permitting in-depth searches of the corpus. Moreover, the integration of the eMGH into the Brepolis Latin platform offers the opportunity to carry out searches simultaneously with other collections of texts bringing together a total of 16,000 works (Library of Latin Texts, Aristoteles Latinus Database, Archive of Celtic-Latin Literature), and allows the user to search Latin reference dictionaries (Database of Latin Dictionaries).

Exhaustive Content

The eMGH are part of the Brepolis Latin platform which is augmented every year and which currently includes four corpora of texts totaling around 16,000 texts. By means of the Cross Database Searchtool, the eMGH can be searched simultaneously with the Library of Latin Texts, the Aristoteles Latinus Database, and the Archive of Celtic-Latin Literature

Advanced Search Possibilities

The powerful search-software enables the users to undertake enhanced search possibilities:

• by using wildcards and operators, the user can construct complex search-queries
• filters are used when, instead of searching through the entire data set, one wishes to restrict the search to a particular Author or group of Authors, a articular Work, a particular Period or Century.

Multilingual Interface

The interface has been developed in four different languages: English, French, German and Italian
