      BIBP: La Base d'Information Bibliographique en Patristique

       [First posted in AWOL 29 January 2014, updated 18 March 2019]

      BIBP: La Base d'Information Bibliographique en Patristique
      http://www4.bibl.ulaval.ca/bd/bibp/images/bibp.gif
      [English introduction]
      La Base d'Information Bibliographique en Patristique est un système documentaire spécialisé en patristique. Même si la littérature patristique est son principal objet, la BIBP couvre l'ensemble des disciplines étudiant le christianisme patristique. La priorité est désormais donnée à l'information courante des revues scientifiques. 

      Le présent site permet d'utiliser les services bibliographiques de la BIBP. Plus de 64 000 notices, issues de plus de 1 750 périodiques, peuvent actuellement être interrogées. L'interrogation en français permet d'accéder à l’information dans toutes les langues de publication. Chacune des langues peut cependant être interrogée directement. Les techniques d’indexation utilisées permettront éventuellement une interrogation universelle dans les principales langues d’indexation. Pour de plus amples renseignements, communiquez avec  rene-michel.roberge@ftsr.ulaval.ca (Laboratoire BIBP, Faculté de théologie et de sciences religieuses, Université Laval. Québec. Qc. Canada. G1V 0A6).
      La réalisation de la BIBP implique une normalisation technique de la nomenclature patristique. Les principaux index de la BIBP sont disponibles en version PDF :
      Les services de la BIBP sont gratuits.
      Toute collaboration est bienvenue. Une invitation particulière est faite aux auteurs pour l'analyse de leurs propres publications. Contactez le professeur René-Michel Roberge à l'adresse ci-haut mentionnée.

      The Electronic Manipulus florum Project

       [First posted in AWOL 25 June 2016, updatcd 7 December 2018]

      The Electronic Manipulus florum Project
      Thomas of Ireland's Manipulus florum ("Handful of flowers") belongs to the genre of medieval texts known as florilegia, collections of authoritative quotations that are the forerunners of modern reference works such as Bartlett's Familiar Quotations and The Oxford Dictionary of Quotations. This particular florilegium contains approximately 6000 Latin proverbs and textual excerpts (provided in 5821 entries*) that are attributed to various classical, patristic and medieval authors. Compiled in Paris at the beginning of the 14th century (1306), it survives in over 200 manuscripts and was published in at least 50 editions between 1483 and 1887, making it by far the most widely-disseminated and, presumably, the most influential anthology of Latin quotations produced during the Middle Ages.
      Building upon the seminal scholarship of Mary Rouse and Richard Rouse, who published an extensive study of the Manipulus florum in 1979 that includes editions of Thomas' Preface and his list of authors and works (Preachers, pp.251-310), The Electronic Manipulus florum Project provides an Open Access critical edition of this florilegium, as well as a number of related Open Access research materials and various auxiliary resources (see Project Description). In an article on concordances, alphabetized indices and other reference tools developed during the 12th and 13th centuries, the Rouses emphasized that their purpose was to enable users "to find immediately" (statim invenire) the desired passage; the same utilitarian impulse informed the compilation and organization of florilegia. Thus, this project simply seeks to extend Thomas of Ireland's original intention into the digital age.

      Portal to the Past: Digital Archive of Archaeological Projects and Research Canadian Institute in Greece

      [First Posted in AWOL  16 November 2013, updated 12 July 2018]

      Portal to the Past: Digital Archive of Archaeological Projects and Research Canadian Institute in Greece
      http://www.portal.cig-icg.gr/sites/default/files/cig-icg%20logo-1.png
      A generous grant from Thracean Gold Mining, S.A., a subsidiary of the Eldorado Gold Corporation (Vancouver), has enabled the Institute to undertake the creation of an interactive website, “Portal to the Past” (or Portal) that highlights the archaeological work of the Canadian Institute in Greece (CIG) since 1980. The Ambassador of Canada to the Hellenic Republic, Robert W. Peck, was instrumental in creating this opportunity for CIG. This new website is designed to provide a wide audience in Canada and beyond with access to the fieldwork, the finds and the results of the archaeological and scientific research carried out under the auspices of the Canadian Institute in Greece with permits from the Hellenic Ministry of Culture. Cultural organizations around the world for the past decade or so have created similar online portals to make their collections accessible to the public.
      Each CIG's 18 archaeological projects since 1980 have a representative sample of the imagery and information related to its research in the Portal. The information and imagery in the website is fully searchable, by project, site, find, image, institution, researcher, research expertise and other criteria. In making this available online, both the projects and the Institute will receive a broader recognition of the significant work that they have carried out in the past four decades throughout Greece in elucidating the rich cultural heritage of the country. These discoveries span from the Mesolithic period (ca 9th millennium BCE) to the 20th century CE. One can search each component for specific information.
      After each field season the current project’s entries and image collection in the Portal will be updated. New projects will be added as they are approved and conduct their field work. Additional materials will be added to older projects as they become available.
      In addition to the archaeological projects the Portal includes imagery and information related to the Frederick E. Winter B/W Negative Collection. The late Professor Winter (University of Toronto) donated to the Archives of the Institute his collection of B/W negatives with contact sheets that he took during a long career focused on the study of Greek and Roman defensive architecture and Hellenistic buildings. This imagery covers Greece, Turkey and Italy from 1956 to 1986.
      The CIG Portal to the Past is one component of the Institute’s ongoing efforts to preserve, to organize, to store properly and to make accessible the archives of the Institute as an institution and of the archives of the archaeological projects which have held permits under the aegis of the Institute.
