Thank you, Joris and Peter, and to those colleagues who replied off-list.
Yes, I deliberately widened that question, thinking it might be a welcome occasion to share our knowledge of indices, tools and strategies to find original medieval texts provided on the web (digital libraries, corpora, editions, etc.).
Francesco Stella pointed to the following useful lists:
More catalogues and databases:
More archives and libraries
Personally, I have no intention to systematically collect or
evaluate this kind of information. But I am eager to see what
other colleagues might suggest. And I hope this helps others to
find what they are looking for or to create and update respective
indices, tools and resources. This is what this mailing list is
made for, to support and encourage an open exchange.
Best,
Franz
The Medieval Academy of America's ‘Curated Guide and Database’ of medieval digital resources seems helpful here: http://mdr-maa.orgIt’s by no means complete (every entry is reviewed for scholarship, quality etc. which is a slow process) and some of the tags still need work, e.g. ‘Digital Editions’ gives only two hits, but ‘text, medieval’ gives a lot more: http://mdr-maa.org/resource_type/text-medieval/
All the best,
Peter

Dear Franz,
Are you personally aiming to widen the question? For Gabriel seems really to narrow it down to "ancient" texts. Anyway, if medieval and thematic is not off topic, I would surely always add the databse of "Arturian Fiction in Medieval Europe" to the list. See: https://service.arthurianfiction.org
All best--Joris

Dear digital medievalists,
Gabby Bodard has just posted a good question to our cousin, the mailing list of Digital Classicist on (see below).
I wonder if you know of sites that catalogue or index original medieval texts (Latin, but also Greek and Vernacular). The Corpus Corporum (http://www.mlat.uzh.ch/MLS/) sure is the most complete (meta-)repository of freely available Latin texts. Other texts are indicated in the catalogues of digital editions by Patrick Sahle (http://digitale-edition.de/) and Greta Franzini (https://dig-ed-cat.acdh.oeaw.ac.at/), both browsable by language and period.
What would medievalists suggest?
Many thanks,
Franz

Oggetto: [DIGITALCLASSICIST] Index or catalogue of original ancient texts? Data: Wed, 11 Sep 2019 11:58:37 +0000 Mittente: Gabriel Bodard <gabriel.bodard@SAS.AC.UK> Rispondi-a: The Digital Classicist List <DIGITALCLASSICIST@JISCMAIL.AC.UK> A: DIGITALCLASSICIST@JISCMAIL.AC.UK
Dear colleagues,
Do you know of a site that catalogues or indexes original ancient texts (Greek, Latin—including Mediaeval Latin etc.—and other classical languages are all relevant in this context) wherever on the web they may be? Sites such as Perseus, Latin Library, Intratext, Poesia Latin, Loebolus, Wikisource, Google Books, all have different coverage (and quality) of ancient texts. The DLL Catalog (https://catalog.digitallatin.org/) aim to catalogue Latin texts of this kind, but don't seem to capture things like Wikisource, Gutenberg or Google.
Where would you go to find all possible free and open sources of Latin text of, for example, Geoffrey of Monmouth? Or Greek equivalent?
Many thanks in advance for any suggestions, and all best,
Gabby
