DMLCS PROJECT STATEMENT

  1. DMLCS is an integrated database and dictionary project, designed to contribute to the fields of Patristic, Medieval, Celtic, and Latin studies by compiling and publishing suitable scholarly works, both in electronic and in conventional media.

  2. The scope and strategy of the project are orientated with respect to the European Latin dictionary scheme of the Union académique internationale; the Royal Irish Academy Council's definition of the domain of DMLCS (1980) and endorsement (in 1993 and 2001 respectively) of its subsequent medium-term and longer-term development plans; and on-going agreements with the British Academy (1990) and Brepols Publishers (1992, 1995 and 2005). The master, working copy of the project's database has historically been located at QUB; it is accessed interactively from the DMLCS office in Dublin.

  3. Apart from the production of the first volume of the Dictionary, achievements to date have included the publication under the project's auspices of four volumes in a DMLCS Ancillary Series, and of a full-text Archive of Celtic-Latin Literature (first in a preliminary CD-rom edition and now on line in a developed and expanding version), as well as the compilation of a lemmatized Celtic-Latin Word-List on the WorldWideWeb. The project also organizes and contributes to the editing of a Scriptores Celtigenae series of Medieval Latin texts, published by Brepols, of which five volumes have so far appeared. In addition, DMLCS has been granted funding under PRTLI, Cycle 4 for a Postdoctoral Researcher, Franz Fischer, to construct an on-line, multilevel hypertext stack on St Patrick's Confessio.

  4. DMLCS is committed to the following medium-term goals:

    1. compilation and publication of:
      1. a catalogue of early medieval Celtic-Latin exegetical literature,
      2. an annotated bibliography of scholarship on St Patrick,
      3. a second edition of the Bibliography of Celtic-Latin Literature,
      4. the second volume (Letters I to Z) of the dictionary-standard Non-Classical Lexicon of Celtic Latinity, of which the first volume (Letters A to H) is already available;

    2. continued compilation of a second (developed and expanding) edition of the ACLL Archive, of which the second of three significant increments has now been added on line by Brepols.

    Longer-term commitments include:

      1. compilation and publication, through Brepols, of a third (definitive) edition of the electronic ACLL Archive;

      2. adaptation and publication of an electronic edition of the Non-Classical Lexicon, grafted onto the ACLL database with hypertext (or analogous) links to the relevant full-text passages;

      3. compilation and publication of a cumulative series of lexicographical surveys of Celtic-Latin literature
        1. on paper (on the model of the Non-Classical Lexicon);
        2. digitally (on the model of the electronic edition of the Non-Classical Lexicon), building into an self-interpreting compendium of Celtic latinity.

    We also expect to maintain our involvement with the Scriptores Celtigenae joint publishing venture.
