• ALD: Aristoteles Latinus database ; and CD-ROM ALD-1, ALD-2. The database is not identical to the printed edition, lacking the prefaces in which the manuscript tradition is described, nor does it include its apparatus of variant readings, their Greek-Latin comparative apparatus, or its bilingual indexes. The specific utility of this electronic edition lies in the fact that it provides an integrated database of all the medieval translations of Aristotle's works. The electronic and the printed editions are thus intended to be complementary.

This section lists the new round of repertoires, manuals, guides, and bibliographies which replace or supplement such standard works as Chevalier, Potthast, Manitius, inter alia.

"For alternative forms of names and titles of works, and pseudonyms there are several old and new general reference works: The authority control for Medieval Latin literature presents a particularly delicate and complex problem for many reasons. A vast literary production has reached us, in fact, from the thousand years which form the Medieval Age: over ten thousand authors and a formidable number of anonymous works are known.As is recognized, a large part of this literature is still unpublished and much is even entirely unknown, since a complete census of the manuscript collections of the European libraries is still far from being finished. The lack of editions inevitably results in a shortage of historical-literary studies; nevertheless, discoveries of new authors and attribution of anonymous works to previously recognized authors follow closely one after another every year. In this way, the large reference works get older with discouraging speed, obliging those who edit them to chase after a constantly increasing quantity of material using a science where insistent, substantial progress renders both insufficient and inadequate every attempt to obtain a definitive order of the knowledge attained."

* PL on the web provides fulltext searching of the entire set, i.e., the original 221 volumes. There may still be times when the student wishes to consult the older, printed indices; for detailed information see Berlioz (1994) Identifier sources et citations, pp. 279-94, CB351.B4. Volumes 218-221 of PL are extensive chronological, biographical, statistical, geographical and other sorts of indices for the main set; the Supplement, 1958-1974, has its own index. There are Elucidation in 235 tabulas, 1952, BR60.P38 suppl.1952 (keyword index); Conspectus auctorum, 1965, BR60.P38 suppl.1965. Corrections concerning texts in PL are found in Glorieux (1952) Pour revaloriser Migne, BR60.P38 suppl.1952.

The plethora of online resources are no less byzantine in design, searchability, turgidity, and opaqueness than are/were many of their print analogs. Browsing the print versions may convey a better sense of organization and limitations. One may find it usefull to construct a vocabulary of relevant terms, particularly for foreign languages. Through time and across languages personal and place names may vary and cross-references may be lacking or incomplete.

International Medieval Bibliography Online (IMB). The print set covering 1967- is shelved in the Lane Room (Z6203.I63). This is the best general coverage index and runs about three years behind. Major weaknesses are its lack of abstracts as well as its currency. The online IMB incorporates the book entries from Cahiers de civilization médiévale which covers the 10th-12th centuries.

Iter: Gateway to the Middle Ages and Renaissance (400-1700) provides author/title access to 400 interdisciplinary journals from 1859 on, but has no abstracts and few subject headings.

For the topics women, sexuality, and gender Feminae Medieval Women and Gender Index covering journal articles, book reviews, and essays in books about women, 1995-.

Online national historical bibliographies include Bibliography of British and Irish History , Irish History Online , Jahresberichte für deutsche Geschichte : Bibliographie zur deutschen Geschichte von ihren Anfängen bis zur Gegenwart. Traditional print annual bibliographies are listed on the subject pages.

For 500-1300 there is the excellent annual bibliography produced at Spoleto Medioevo Latino, Bolletino bibliografico della cultura europea dal secolo VI al XIII (Z6203.M4, Lane Rm). Its section "Auctori e testi" is an excellent source for updating older guides and manuals covering Latin authors and text editions. Its CD-ROM version is part of the Lane Room digital collection; call number D117.A12 M42.

For the later Middle Ages there is Bib. annuelle du Moyen Âge (D113.B53, Lane Rm.), specifically intended to update the Répertoire bio-bibliographique des auteurs latin, patristique et médiévaux (MTXT MFICHE 1102), which lists editions, manuscript locations, and textual studies in journals and books. The Répertoire is the microform of the card file established by the L'Institut de Recherche et d'Histoire des Textes, Paris.

For Antiquity and early Medieval Latin studies: L'Année philologique ; coverage can extend to the 8th century.

For the Renaissance Bib. Int. de l'humanisme et de Renaissance. The successful use of this index, like most, whether in paper or online version, requires patience. Its first section is a personal name listing which gives secondary works and editions. It covers 15th and 16th century topics broadly and runs about five years behind. Furthermore:

Regarding scope: "In the context of this bibliography ‘Humanism’ and ‘Renaissance’ are flexible terms that encompass a wide range of human activities – economic, legal, scientific and technological, literary, philosophical, religious, and artistic –without restricting the timeframe to the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries in each country. In Italy, in order not to exclude Petrarch (1304–1374) or Boccaccio (1313–1375), the period has to be brought forward by half a century to c.1350. Conversely, in Spain the Siglo de Oro lasts well into the seventeenth century. Likewise the late development of the humanist movement in Eastern Europe makes it necessary to extend the period to the mid-seventeenth century. (Sarah Sussman)

AIDA (Articoli italiani di periodici accademici) , an online index to 1,238 Italian periodicals. It covers all fields of the humanities and social sciences, and includes articles appearing from 1997 to the present. You can access it from the Libraries' databases page -- search for AIDA.

There are numerous, ongoing, long-established bibliographies, and many are identified in Rouse (1969) Serial Bibliographies for Medieval Studies. This artifact of an earlier world of research and bibliography remains useful, and some of the bibliographies listed, like Revue d'histoire ecclésiastique -- bibliographie via Brepols Online, which covers church history sensu lato, are now searchable via the web.
