An international collaboration committed to creating an open educational resource featuring a corpus of digital texts, deep-reading tools, and open-source software.

This website contains essentially all Latin literary texts written before A.D. 200, as well as some texts selected from later antiquity.

Perseus has a particular focus upon the Greco-Roman world and upon classical Greek and Latin, but the larger mission provides the distant, but fixed star by which we have charted our path for over two decades. Early modern English, the American Civil War, the History and Topography of London, the History of Mechanics, automatic identification and glossing of technical language in scientific documents, customized reading support for Arabic language, and other projects that we have undertaken allow us to maintain a broader focus and to demonstrate the commonalities between Classics and other disciplines in the humanities and beyond.

This is the official journal of the American Society of Papyrologists. BASP publishes a wide variety of articles and reviews of relevance to papyrology and related disciplines. From text editions to important synthetic articles, BASP has published studies on papyri, ostraca, and inscriptions in Greek, Latin, and Coptic. In the future, BASP will broaden its coverage to include Hieratic, Demotic, Aramaic, and Arabic texts.

The primary purpose of the Checklist of Greek, Latin, Demotic and Coptic Papyri, Ostraca and Tablets is to provide for scholars and librarians a ready bibliography of all monographic volumes, both current and out-of-print, of Greek, Latin, Demotic and Coptic documentary texts on papyrus, parchment, ostraca or wood tablets.

The Duke Papyrus Archive provides electronic access to texts about and images of nearly 1400 papyri from ancient Egypt.

The aim of the Academy is the promotion of scientific research in the context of papyrological studies and of the various disciplines concerning the historical-cultural events of the ancient world. English is available as a translation option for this website.

Heidelberger Complete Directory of Greek Papyrus Documents in Egypt including the ostraca etc., the Latin texts, and the corresponding documents from neighboring regions.

This site unites all the digital tools that are taken care of in Leipzig. Among them is the Papyrus Portal, which searches the digitized papyrological databases in Germany and in its neighbouring countries and displays the results in a homogeneous way. Part of it is also the Papyrus and Ostraca Project Halle-Jena-Leipzig. The data of the collections Basel, Bremen, Erlangen, Cologne, Marburg, Wuerzburg as well as those of Giessen are also available.

The Papyrological Navigator (PN) supports searching, browsing, and aggregation of ancient papyrological documents and related materials; the Papyrological Editor (PE) enables multi-author, version controlled, peer reviewed scholarly curation of papyrological texts, translations, commentary, scholarly metadata, institutional catalog records, bibliography, and images.

In 2003 the papyrus collections Halle, Jena and Leipzig applied for a DFG-project aiming at the digitization, cataloguing and presentation of the results of indexing of the papyri which are stored in those collections. The results are available through an internet database.

The largest collection in North America, with at least 18,000 ancient texts and documents dating from about 1,000 BCE to 1,000 CE.

The Julian Edison Department of Special Collections in Olin Library houses 445 manuscript fragments, dating from the first century BCE to the eighth century CE. The fragments were excavated in 1922 Sir William Flinders Petrie and the Egypt Exploration Society at the site of the ancient Egyptian city of Oxyrhynchus.

This page provides access to a series of lists containing abbreviations found in Latin inscriptions. The series represents a new compilation of such abbreviations, assembled from digital texts of all Latin inscriptions published in L’Année Épigraphique between 1888 and 1993. There are two sets of lists, one containing common abbreviations (those occurring more than 10 times in the inscriptions sampled), and another containing all the abbreviations that occur in the inscriptions sampled.

This collection gathers seventeen papers presented at this conference, ranging from technical discussions of epigraphic formulae and palaeography to broad consideration of inscriptions as social documents and visual records.

The Centre for the Study of Ancient Documents aims to provide a focus for the study of ancient documents within Oxford. The Centre provides a home for Oxford University's epigraphical archive, which includes one of the largest collections of squeezes (paper impressions) of Greek inscriptions in the world, together with the Haverfield archive of Roman inscriptions from Britain, and a substantial photographic collection. The strengths of the epigraphical archive lie in its broad coverage of early Greek inscriptions, Attic epigraphy and the Hellenistic world. Individual sites well represented in the archive include Chios, Samos, Priene, Rhodes, and Samothrace. The material in the archive is currently being reorganised and catalogued.

The purpose of CLAROS is to make it easier to locate new editions of Greek inscriptions discovered throughout the last hundred years. This database does not intend to be exhaustive, nor does it try to collect every edition of each inscription included. It is only the sum of the concordances included at the end of many epigraphical collections that were published since the end of the 19th century. In addition, we have included a certain number of concordances prepared by the authors of the Supplementum Epigraphicum Graecum for volumes that had an incomplete concordance or had no concordance at all. Finally, we established a number of concordances through direct reading of volumes that had no concordances, such as, among other collections, GVI, ICr., Hell., IGR, INomima, ISE, ISic.MG, RDGE, Schwyzer or Sokolowski.

The Epigraphic Database Rome (EDR) is part of the international federation of Epigraphic Databases called Electronic Archive of Greek and Latin Epigraphy (EAGLE). As part of the federation, it is possible to look through EDR both as a single database or together with its partner databases accessing EAGLE’s portal. In addition to EDR, the federation currently includes the Epigraphische Datenbank Heidelberg (EDH), the Epigraphic Database Bari (EDB) and Hispania Epigraphica (HE).

Etruscan Texts Project (ETP) is an online editio minor of Etruscan inscriptions. When completed, the ETP database will include all Etruscan inscriptions that have been recovered and made public since 1990, the date at which Helmut Rix et al. Etruskische Texte (1991) went to press.

The Greek inscriptions of Europe are edited on the following plan: IG I–III Athens and Attica; IG IV–VI the Peloponnese; IG VII–IX Central Greece; IG X Northern Greece, Thrace, Skythia; IG XI–XII Aegean Islands; IG XIII Crete; IG XIV Italy and Sicily; IG XV Cyprus. The Digital Scholarly Edition currently offers access to the text, the translations (German and English), and the TEI (Epidoc) encoded sources of eleven volumes of the Inscriptiones Graecae.
NOTE: A list of IG titles that we have in print in Olin Library with catalog links can be found in the left-hand column of this web page.

Founded in 1888, L'Ánnee épigraphique takes an inventory of new Greek and Latin inscriptions relative to the Roman world that have been published in the past two and a half years. The journal also offers commentary on inscriptions already published and on primary sources based on epigraphic documentation.

This is a list of over 500 English translations of Latin inscriptions from the time of the Roman Republic, which are available online. The inscriptions are almost all contained in the Corpus Inscriptionum Latinarum, the comprehensive collection of Latin inscriptions, and the Latin text of the inscriptions can be found in the Epigraphische Datenbank Clauss-Slaby. A few additional inscriptions can be found at the end of the list.

Publication of Greek and Latin inscriptions has traditionally proceeded inscription by inscription, or site by site. The overall long-term goal of this project is to create an electronic archive of all Greek manumission inscriptions that can be of use to epigraphists, as well as historians of antiquity and of slavery in other historical periods. In an effort to make this material accessible to non-epigraphists, and indeed to non-classicists, e.g. students of slavery in other historical periods, English translations have been provided for all inscriptions in this archive, information about location and context when possible, and forms of tagging, e.g. to price, that will help non-specialists to gather information from this archive.

Browse and discover the voices of the past, drawn from the writings of those who lived, served, and died in Roman Britain.
