- Aristoteles Latinus DatabaseThis is an ongoing digital edition of the corpus of medieval Greek-Latin translations of the works of Aristotle as published in the also ongoing printed series _Aristoteles Latinus_. The electronic database is not identical to the printed editions, as it does not contain the prefaces in which their manuscript traditions are described, nor does it include those editions' apparatus of variant readings, their Greek-Latin comparative apparatus, or their bilingual indexes. The specific utility of this electronic edition lies in the fact that it provides an integrated database of the medieval Latin translations of Aristotle's works. The electronic and the printed editions are thus intended to be complementary. (Updates vary)
