Claros Concordance of Greek Inscriptions (Q612)

Researchers working on Greek epigraphy know how laborious the location of the bibliography generated by an inscription or a series of inscriptions throughout the years can sometimes be. The purpose of the data base CLAROS is to make it easier to locate new editions of Greek inscriptions discovered throughout the last hundred years. It is designed to help not only epigraphists, but also non-specialists (historians, linguists, philologists, etc.) who may be less acquainted than the former with the task of finding their way in the bibliographical jungle this discipline has become. Its origin goes back to 1990, when part of the team of the DGE started gathering this type of information in a MS-DOS environment in order to help us review the epigraphical material included in the dictionary. It shares the same philosophy as other sections of this website: to put at the disposal of scholars information of internal use for the DGE that would otherwise be difficult to consult. This data base does not intend to be exhaustive and does not try to collect every edition of each inscription included. It is only the sum of the concordances included at the end of many epigraphical collections that were published since the end of the 19th century. In addition, we have included a certain number of concordances prepared by the authors of the Supplementum Epigraphicum Graecum for volumes that had an incomplete concordance or had no concordance at all. Finally, we established a number of concordances through direct reading of volumes that had no concordances, such as, among other collections, GVI, ICr., Hell., IGR, INomima, ISE, ISic.MG, RDGE, Schwyzer or Sokolowski.
