Cross Search Acta Sanctorum

Web subscribers who own both Patrologia Latina Database and Acta Sanctorum Database are able to search across both databases at the same time, in a single search. The addition of BHL reference numbers to Patrologia Latina Database enables direct comparison of textual passages between the two resources. In addition, Brills Madiae Latinitatis Lexicon Minor is available to users of the cross-searchable site, providing information that is not available in any other electronic format.  Jan Frederik Niermeyer's Mediae latinitatis lexicon minus is a practical lexicon for succinct information much used by Medieval History students. It has proved to be invaluable to medievalists for almost 50 years. The dictionary provides French and English translations for every entry of a Medieval Latin concept, and all entries are contextualized with relevant text passages. The combined resources of these databases offer scholars unprecedented opportunities to further their research in early European social history and the development of Christianity, from the foundation of the Church to the Reformation.
