The
BiblIndex project is
supported by
Sources Chrétiennes –
HiSoMA in Lyon and funded by the French
National Research Agency (2011-2015) and the
Digital Scientific Library (2015-2016).
BiblIndex aims at building an
exhaustive online index of
biblical quotations and allusions in Early Christian Literature,
both Western and Eastern texts, which is meant to eventually cover the whole Late Antiquity and the early Middle Ages.
This is not about a binary and one-way connection between a frozen canonical
corpus and a corpus of authors quoting
verbatim: more accurately,
BiblIndex seeks to
give full
account of the complex links existing between a corpus of biblical
texts –changing collections of fragmented scriptural books which were
originally written
in various languages and translated early in their history, while
still in
progress– with a corpus of ancient and medieval authors, who refer
to
the Bible –while commenting, meditating, translating it– as a fixed
entity yet
at the same time contribute, through their quotations and spiritual
or liturgical
reminiscences, to the form and concept of 'the text'. Quotations in
ancient authors show these biblical texts in the process of
development and
reception.
Reassembling this hitherto scattered patrimonial treasure,
BiblIndex aims at
providing a federative tool –as objective as possible– intended for scholars
and researchers as well as for a wider audience, in order to help understand
the acculturation process of the Bible both in East and West, and to enhance
studies in exegesis and history of the biblical text.
