Checklist of Editions of Greek, Latin, Demotic and Coptic Papyri, Ostraca, and Tablets
“The primary purpose of the Checklist of Greek, Latin, Demotic and Coptic Papyri, Ostraca and Tablets is to provide for scholars and librarians a ready bibliography of all monographic volumes, both current and out-of-print, of Greek, Latin, Demotic and Coptic documentary texts on papyrus, parchment, ostraca or wood tablets…. A second objective of the original Checklist was to establish a standard list of abbreviations for editions of Greek texts. Now that this objective has been largely achieved, it is our hope that this expanded version will provide the same service for the Coptic and Demotic material.”
APIS: Advanced Papyrological Information System
APIS links together in a single environment various sources of information about texts written on papyrus and the society that produced them. It contains descriptions of the papyri and other written materials in the collections of the participating institutions, digital images of many of these texts, and connections to databases with the texts themselves in their original languages and with bibliography about the texts. Many of the descriptions include full translations into English. The user can move back and forth among text, translation, bibliography, description, and image. With the specially developed APIS Search System many different types of complex searches can be carried out.

Database of Greek and Latin literary papyri from Egypt except Jewish and Christian ones (a.k.a. Mertens-Pack3)
An interdisciplinary portal of papyrological and epigraphical resources dealing with Egypt and the Nile valley between roughly 800 BC and AD 800. “Its core component is Trismegistos Texts, which includes papyrological and epigraphic texts, not only in Greek, Latin, and Egyptian in its various scripts (Demotic, hieroglyphic, hieratic and Coptic), but also in Meroitic, Aramaic, Arabic, Nabataean, Carian, and other languages (currently 106153 records). Most of the metadata are provided by partner projects, normally limited to texts in a certain language, on a type of writing surface (e.g. papyrus) or of a certain type (e.g. literary vs. documentary)… The Collections database, built on the Leuven Homepage of Papyrus Collections, is a set of currently some 1200 institutional and private collections of texts. It is possible to look for a collection and find all related Trismegistos texts, or only those related to a specific partner. The Archives database, which is a Leuven undertaking, has been fully integrated in the system: in Trismegistos links to the archives to which the texts belong are provided, while in the Leuven Homepage of Papyrus Archives a list of all texts of a specific archive is only a mouse-click away.”
