Aristoteles Latinus project

Professor Lisa Devriese presents the different aspects of the Aristoteles Latinus project (methodology of making critical editions and the output). This project, supervised and supported by the International Union of Academies, is hosted at the De Wulf – Mansion Centre for Ancient, Medieval and Renaissance Philosophy in KU Leuven.

The database Aristoteles Latinus Database offers the complete texts published in the Aristoteles Latinus Series but is not identical to the printed publication, as it omits the prefaces describing the manuscript tradition and the apparatus of variant readings.

The powerful search-software of the database enables the users to undertake enhanced search possibilities:
– by using wildcards and Booleans 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 particular Work, a particular Period or Century

Help pack for BBIH users

Over Summer 2020, the BBIH’s editors have created a set of videos that introduce the Bibliography, and show how to use it for teaching preparation and study.

The current set of videos are for:

  • First Year undergraduates studying History, with a focus on Britain and Ireland, the history of British empire and Commonwealth.
  • History lecturers and college librarians, with a focus on using BBIH for teaching — both to find relevant content and enable students to identify and distinguish between different kinds of history publications.

BREPOLiS bibliographies vs Google Scholar

We are pleased to share with you a short video (1:50) comparing the benefits of using BREPOLiS bibliographies (L’Année Philologique, the International Medieval Bibliography, the Bibliography of Humanism and the Renaissance, the Bibliography of British and Irish History, the Index Religiosus, and the Bibliographie de civilisation médiévale) compared to a Google Scholar search.
