Resource Discovery and Linking for Religious Studies
As a starting community, ReIReS aims to create a significant and ground-braking innovation in the field of historical religious studies and to achieve this work package 6 will integrate several important researches databases relevant to religious science. Numerous digital resources and databases are already available in this domain, both from public research institutions and from commercial publishers. In its aim to become a research infrastructure ReIReS must therefore address the growing needs of scholars to discover large sets of data. This puts us in the unique position to help public and commercial database providers to make their databases more visible and discoverable and to offer virtual access to dispersed research databases on religious sciences and history in a single unified search platform.
The ReIReS partner institutions house their own collections of manuscripts, documents and rare books and represent relevant collections of Christian, Jewish and Muslim works. The consortium has the ambition of creating a unified data repository and discovery system for the domain of religious studies, based on these collections. This tool could offer researchers everywhere virtual access to the catalogues of collections and libraries from across Europe through one unified discovery platform.
As a first step in this process, the consortium partners participated in a survey that gathered an overview of the datasets managed by the ReIReS partners, the results of which are presented here, including a description of the datasets and whether they are freely accessible or not. This overview serves as a first step towards a unified discovery platform and gives researchers an insight into the material that is available at the partner institutions.

This initial version of the database allows users to access texts included in the Patrologia Orientalis (PO) series in two forms: the original text, available as a PDF file, and a searchable translation. The user can search for items (such as keywords or quotes) in the language into which a text was translated in the PO. All the texts in the PO are searchable, and the reader can check the translation with the original text visible alongside as a non-searchable PDF file. | |

| Library of Latin Texts – Series B | |
| Short description of the dataset | |
| The Library of Latin Texts – Series B (LLT-B) serves as a supplement to the Library of Latin Texts. Both databases are produced by the Centre ‘Traditio Litterarum Occidentalium’ (CTLO) under the direction of Prof. Paul Tombeur. The objective of the LLT-B is to put a large number of Latin texts into electronic form, at a rapid pace, in order to meet the needs of students and researchers. The Library of Latin Texts – Series B offers the same research possibilities and functionalities as the LLT-A, which makes it a valuable research instrument. Just as in the LLT-A, a distinction is made between the original text and the “paratextual” elements, with the basic approach of the LLT-A (“Who said what, when, where, and how many times?”) still in effect. In total, the present version of the LLT-B includes 901 works in addition to 5,804 diplomatic charters: it is now possible to search more than 36.4 million forms, drawn from more than 900 works that are attributed to approximately 450 authors. | |

| "The LLT-A is the reference database for Latin texts, offering texts from the beginnings of Latin literature down to the present day. In total, the present version of the LLT-A contains more than 78 million Latin words, drawn from more than 3,800 works that are attributed to approximately 1,200 authors. The texts are selected from the best editions available and when possible established according to best contemporary scholarly practice. Great efforts have been undertaken to verify facts relating to the text, such as the veracity of the authorial attribution or the dating. The printed text has often been enhanced by correcting detected typographical errors. In order to isolate, as far as possible, the words proper to each work, a distinction is made between the original text and the “paratextual” elements." | |

| Short description of the dataset | |
| "The huge panoply of Latin biblical texts that were in existence and use from their first appearance in the second century AD until the time when, for each of the Bible books, one of them became predominant and unanimously accepted or “Vulgate”, are known as the Vetus Latina or Old Latin Bible. The direct textual tradition of the Vetus Latina is meager: due to the eventual success of the Vulgate, the older translations were no longer copied so that only a limited number of Bible manuscripts predating the Carolingian era are extant. Moreover, these often supply only fragments of the biblical story. As a result, the basic sources for the Old Latin Bible are the biblical citations or allusions found within the writings of the Latin Fathers or Greek patristic authors who were translated into Latin at an early date. Contains the comprehensive patristic records of the Vetus Latina Institut in Beuron (over 800,000 biblical citations). The complete repertorium of H. J. Frede (Kirchenschriftsteller-Verzeichnis und Sigel, Freiburg, 1995) can be consulted online within the application, as well as the repertorium’s regular updates by Professor Gryson." | |

The Index Religiosus covers the full range of disciplines in Theology and Canon Law: History of Theology, History of Religions, Old and New Testaments, Fundamental and Dogmatic Theology, Sacramentology and Liturgy, Moral and Pastoral Theology, and Canon Law. All aspects of Church History are also widely covered: Institutions; Orders; Congregations; Influential Figures; Hagiography; Political, Social and Economic History; Archaeology; Art History; Music; Architecture; Relations with Islam and Judaism; and more, which makes the Index Religiosus a tool of the first order for all manner of disciplines." | |

| Archival records related to religious history | |
| Short description of the dataset | |
| At the moment not many datasets from the University Archive are digitally available. It has only recently started receiving digital records for archiving and only digitizes files when necessary or on demand. Due to the history of KU Leuven as a Catholic university, however, most of its archive can be relevant to religious history. The archival fonds of some of its administrative bodies and faculties are more specifically relevant and the metadata of those archival collections is available. For most of these, the information that is digitally available is limited to the upper levels of the fonds. Some relevant fonds: All the records from the university as an organization. All the records from fonds of archives of people and organizations connected to the university: http://abs.lias.be/Query/detail.aspx?id=135813 Some records from fonds of people and organizations not connected to the university: http://abs.lias.be/Query/detail.aspx?ID=135814 All the records from the fonds Archief en Museum van het Vlaamse Studentenleven (AMVS): http://abs.lias.be/Query/archivplansuche.aspx?ID=135815 The Topographical-historical atlas containing objects connected to the university, which is spread across several records.
