Fondation pour le Lexicon Iconographicum Mythologiae Classicae (LIMC)

The wealth of ancient myths and legends which we call Classical Mythology is one of the major elements of our cultural heritage. The study of its iconographic representations is the main aim pursued by the Foundation for the LIMC, a foundation of international character, and constituted under Swiss law, that was formed in Geneva in 1972 and has been located in Basel since 1983. Its first task was the preparation and publication of the Lexicon Iconographicum Mythologiae Classicae (LIMC), completed in 1999. This work has been continued by the Thesaurus Cultus et Rituum Antiquorum (ThesCRA) (2004-2006), focused on the domain of cult and rite.
To be able to reach the goals set by the Foundation, the enterprise has been provided with a suitable infrastructure right from its beginning. Its constituent bodies are as follows:

• the Foundation Council, which is mainly in charge of providing and taking care of the necessary funds as well as the coordination of the executive bodies;
• the International Scientific Committee, which comprises scholars from most of the countries that contribute to the projects of the Foundation by providing scientific material, photographs and texts;
• the Editorial Board, which decides the content of the publications, selects the authors and supervises the intellectual content of their contributions;
• the Central Editorial Office, which is located in Basel, and takes care of the documentation, acquires photographs, prepares the texts for printing and produces the volumes of plates. It is aided by connected editorial offices in Paris, Heidelberg/Würzburg and Athens.

WebLIMC

The wealth of ancient myths and legends which we call Classical Mythology is one of the major elements of our cultural heritage. A huge amount of documents and photographs were assembled in the course of the preparation of the Lexicon Iconographicum Mythologiae Classicae (LIMC; 1981-1999 and 2009) and the Thesaurus Cultus et Rituum Antiquorum (ThesCRA; 2004-2014). This dataset is regularly updated and enhanced with new documents. 

weblimc.org gives access to the digital ressources (ca. 50'000 ancient objects and photographs) provided by three components of the late Foundation for the LIMC:

Digital LIMC

LIMC France

LIMC Greece

 

Digital LIMC: the archives of the Foundation for the LIMC that have been transfered to the University of Basel.

LIMC France: digital ressources on Greek, Etruscan and Roman iconography and objects 

LIMC Greece: data on objects from recent excavations in Greece.

 

For copyright reasons the access to the images is restricted to images from institutions which have given permission for diffusion on weblimc.org. The copyright of the images remains with these institutions. The re-use of the images provided here for any purpose is illegal and only allowed with the permission of the respective copyright holder.

Lexicon Iconographicum Mythologiae Classicae (LIMC): LIMC-France : les bases de données

 [Updated  5 February 2017]

Lexicon Iconographicum Mythologiae Classicae (LIMC): LIMC-France : les bases de données

 The French team of the International Foundation for the LIMC gives you access to the digital resources that have been developed around ancient iconography.
The three databases  :

LIMCicon contains data relating to ancient Graeco-Roman documents bearing a mythological or religious representation.

LIMCbiblio contains recent bibliographical data to complete the information published in the LIMC volumes.

LIMCabrev allows you to find the list of the articles published in the LIMC and the full names of the bibliographical abbreviations used in the LIMC, in the ThesCRA and on this site.

Any person wishing to add any information relating to ancient iconographic documents can contact us so that this information may be entered into the LIMCbiblio and/or LIMCicon databases.

About the digital resources LIMC-France

LIMC-icon

The LIMC-icon database contains the iconographical documents kept both in France and elsewhere that have been catalogued and analysed by the French LIMC team.
It is regularly updated and enhanced with new documents.
LIMC-icon is not an electronic version of the Lexicon Iconographicum Mythologiae Classicae, it is an independent and complementary source of information. An ancient document can therefore be dealt with either in the database, or in the book, or in both.

LIMC-biblio

LIMC-biblio is bibliographical database created to complement - from 1997 to 2009 - the information published in the LIMC volumes.

LIMC-abrev

Use LIMC-abrev to find the list of articles published in the LIMC and the full titles corresponding to the bibliographical abbreviations used in the LIMC, in the ThesCRA and on this site.
