Database
– 480,000
bibliographic records for the years 1959 to 2002, with 12,500 new records
added each year. – the
international offices analyze 1,500 periodicals each year as well as 500
articles in collections and conference papers. – publication
information for articles is accompanied by a brief abstract – all
the records are classified in a two-parts system: Ancient authors and
texts, Subjects and disciplines. – multiple
possibilities for research are available: -
by modern authors -
by full text -
by ancient authors and texts -
by subjects and disciplines through a multilevel index showing the
different levels of classification -
by word(s) in the title -
by publisher -
by collection -
by periodical with
the possibility of limiting the search by year of publication or by a
range of years, and also by modern language (for French, English, German,
Italian and Spanish). – all
the criteria are able to be combined in a History of Research to create
complex searches. – a
facility for selecting records for printing or exporting in RFT format is
now under development. The
format of the bibliographical references conforms as closely as possible
to that of the printed volumes. However, cross-references (which point to
a single item under different rubrics) and review entries (which contain
information about reviews of books already noted in a previous volume) are
now included in the original entry. For collections, each volume is
connected by HTML links to the articles it contains so that users can move
from the volume to its constituent articles and vice-versa. A Help
file and notes on the various search screens provide help to users. The
data may contain omissions or errors, or may be late in appearing. The
SIBC cannot guarantee the accuracy, relevance, exhaustiveness, currentness,
reliability or proficiency of any individual use of information made
accessible by the Année philologique database. Users are invited
to submit corrections by e-mail to aph_error@vjf.cnrs.fr. History
Founded
in Paris by the latinist Jules Marouzeau (1878-1964), Professor at the
Sorbonne, L’Année philologique first appeared in 1928. The first
volume recorded the publications of 1924-26, and the second appeared that
same year with the publications of 1927. Since then, an annual volume
brings together all the bibliography for each year. Juliette Ernst
(1900-2001), J. Marouzeau's principal collaborator, became director of the
Année philologique in 1964. The next year she created an editorial
office at the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill (USA), and
another at Heidelberg, Germany in 1972. A third office was opened in
Lausanne, Switzerland in 1977. Two new offices were then opened in 1996 in
Genoa, Italy and in 1999 in Grenada, Spain. Pierre-Paul Corsetti and Éric
Rebillard are at the head of the Année philologique which is part
of UPR 76 of the CNRS. The Année
philologique is published by the Société Internationale de
Bibliographie Classique with support from the Centre National de la
Recherche Scientifique (France), the University of North Carolina (Chapel
Hill, NC), the University of Ohio (Athens, OH), the National Endowment for
the Humanities (USA), the American Philological Association, the
Heidelberg Akademie der Wissenschaften, the Académie suisse des sciences
humaines, the Université de Gênes (Facoltà di Lettere e Filosofia,
Centro di Servizi Bibliotecari di Lettere e Filosofia, D.AR.FI.CL.ET.),
the Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche (Rome), the Université de Grenade
(Vicerrectorado de Investigación y Relaciones Internacionales; Facultad
de Filosofía y Letras), the Fédération internationale des associations
d'études classiques, and Unesco, on the recommendation of the Conseil
international de la philosophie et des sciences humaines. Forty-three years (1959-2002) of the Année philologique (volumes 30 to 73) have now been put on-line by the Société Internationale de Bibliographie Classique, under the direction of Éric Rebillard, in collaboration with the American Philological Association and the Database of Classical Bibliography. Volumes 40 to 63 were digitized by the Database of Classical Bibliography under the direction of Dee L. Clayman. Volumes 64 to 65 were digitized by the French Office of the Année philologique with the support of the CNRS. Volumes 66 to 69 were assembled by the program AnPhil developed by Richard Goulet and exported directly into SGML. Each spring a new volume will be added to the database with the next update planned for the spring of 2005 when bibliography from 2003 will be added. The digitization of volumes before vol. 30 is being undertaken by the DCB. The
