AN ANALYTIC BIBLIOGRAPHY OF ON-LINE NEO-LATIN TEXTS
DANA F. SUTTON
The University of California, Irvine
The enormous profusion of literary texts posted on the World Wide Web will no doubt strike future historians as remarkable and important. But this profusion brings with it an urgent need for many specialized on-line bibliographies. The present one is an analytic bibliography of Latin texts written during the Renaissance and later that are freely available to the general public on the Web (texts posted in access-restricted sites, and Web sites offering electronic texts and digitized photograpic reproductions for sale are not included).
This page was first posted January 1, 1999 and most recently updated on November 18, 2024 . The reader may be interested to know that it currenty contains 79,760 items. and I would appreciate it if those who post new texts on the Web, to inform me by e-mail, so that this bibliography can be kept accurate and up to date. I take this opportunity to express my gratitude to all the individuals who have suppied me with corrctions and information. I extend especial thanks to Klaus Graf, Tommy Tyberg and J. R. Stockton, who are resonsible for the addition of many hundreds of bibliographical items to this list.
A few texts are omitted here because an invalid URL address is provided. Over the passage of time, of course, some of the URL addresses given here may be changed or broken ( site managers should avoid changing URL’s whenever possible. (One could single out a prominent site that managed to do this twice), or failing that adopt some kind of redirection system, because as soon as texts are posted they begin to be employed in scholarly citations). If you become aware of such difficulties please report them.
There are a few things that will help the reader understand the information provided here. 1.) prior to the advent of copyright laws printers were under no obligation to identify their identities or the place and date of publication. When an entry lacks some or all of this information, this reflects the condition of a title page. 2.) Many books are simply identified as being printed at Frankfurt. At least in the great majority o cases this of course means Frankfurt am Main. 3.) Some German books written in the vernacular have Latin titles and it is likely that a limited number of thse are accidentally included here.
The reader will encounter many instances in which a large number of items are registered under the name of a partiular author, almost always printed in German towns. This is because the academic institution of the dissertation originated in the universities of that nation,, evidently in Schools of Law, and on the title page of such works (no matter how distasteful this might strike a modern academic) primary credit is given to the dissertation supervisor rather than the actual author, and modern library catalogues universally follow suit,
Some of the abbreviations frequently used here are dpr (digitized photographic reproduction, almost always a downloadable PDF - on a Google Books or Internet Archive page there is also a link to such a file), BSB Bayerische Staatsbliothek Digitalisierungszentrum , GDZ = Göttinger Digitalisierungszentrum, HAB = Wolfenbütteler Digitalen Bibliothek,MDZ = Münchener Digitalisierungszentrum. MIAMI Universität Münster Digitalisierungszentrum, ULB Sachsen-Anhalt = Unversität Halle Digitalisierungszentrum
