And of course, you still have access to the Conference Proceedings Citation Index – Science and Social Science & Humanities from 1990 to the present day.

Bibliotheca Teubneriana Latina (BTL) and Thesaurus Linguae Latinae (TLL)

Bibliotheca Teubneriana Latina (BTL) and Thesaurus Linguae Latinae (TLL) have both now been added to the Consortium Luxembourg Portal.

BTL contains a constantly growing number of Latin texts from Antiquity and Late Antiquity, and from medieval and modern Latin. Some one million new word forms have been added since 2006. Approximately 13 million word forms are now accessible electronically.

TLL provides access to the contents of all lexicon articles published up to 2008 (that is the letters A–M, O, P–pomifer, porta–pulso), the articles in the Onomasticon volumes (letters C and D), the Index librorum and the Praemonenda de rationibus et usu operis, a multilingual introduction to the printed version of the Thesaurus.

A completely new user interface links both databases, so that for the first time the Thesaurus and the texts of the Teubneriana can be accessed from one search screen by selecting the “BTL + TLL Search” tab.
