Biblical quotations in the Fathers database (BIBLINDEX)

An interesting announcement on the LT-ANTIQ list (I have reworked the announcement to make it clearer):

An index of approximately 400,000 biblical quotations and allusions from Greek and Latin patristic texts of the first five centuries is now available online.

To search for references in Biblindex, you can open a user account on the site :
http://www.biblindex.mom.fr/index.php?lang=en and follow the instructions.

This index is essentially a digest of:

  • The published volumes of Biblia Patristica, CNRS Editions, 1975-2000.
  • The archives of the “Centre d’Analyse et de Documentation Patristique” (CADP) on Athanasius of Alexandria, Cyril of Alexandria, John Chrysostom, Theodoret of Cyrus, Procopius of Gaza, Jerome.

This is the first step for a comprehensive index of all biblical references from patristic writings. Some technical improvements are still necessary.

Any questions, comments or suggestions are welcome. Please write to
biblindex.sc@mom.fr

Dominique Gonnet posted the announcement by Laurence Mellerin.  I’ve not tried it out yet, but such a thing should be invaluable.
