Dear DMs,
Trying to assess the appearance of biblical personal/place names in late
medieval sermons (post 1200), I was hoping to make use of full-text digital
sermon editions. However, apart from the Repertorium of Middle English
Prose Sermons (http://www.hull.ac.uk/middle_english_sermons/ , partial but
hopefully will receive additional fundings) and the sermons of Voragine (
http://www.sermones.net/) I have failed to find anything of use, either in
Latin or the vernacular. A newcomer to the field, I might be missing the
obvious, and would be grateful for any suggestions.

Dear colleagues,
the following might be of interest for some:
Sammlung Schweizerischer Rechtsquellen online
Collection des sources du droit suisse online
Collana Fonti del diritto svizzero online
http://www.ssrq-sds-fds.ch/online/
Since 1898 the Swiss Lawyers Society edits a collection of law sources
which had been created on Swiss territory up to 1798, the Collection of
Swiss Law Sources. The Collection contains material from the early
middle ages until early modern times (1798). Over 100 volumes, or more
than 60,000 pages of source material and comments from all language
regions of Switzerland have been published so far.
In a project supported by the Swiss National Science Foundation and the
Friedrich-Emil-Welti Foundation, the Law Sources Foundation has
digitized all volumes published so far and makes them available online here.
There are the following ways to access the Collection:
* Via the catalog organized by cantons
* Via the search in the tables of contents
For more extensive information please see the detailed description.
Full-text search
Only in the years to come the collection will be transformed into a
digital edition. In addition to the images available online right now,
the fulltext will be produced and encoded according to the TEI guidelines.
Best, Torsten
