New Pauly TRIAL through Jan 20, 2007

All Aspects of the Ancient World

The New Pauly has become a recognized standard reference work for students and scholars of the ancient world. It provides comprehensive coverage of the ancient world from the prehistory of the Aegean (2nd millennium BCE) to late antiquity (600-800 CE). A special section of the encyclopedia is devoted to the reception of the ancient world until the present day and the history of classical scholarship. The scholarship of the New Pauly reflects both traditional and new areas and approaches presented by internationally recognised leading experts. The articles in the New Pauly cover all aspects of the ancient world: persons, places, institutions, events, artifacts, technical terms, ideas and concepts etc. The subject goes beyond the traditional paradigm by giving special attention to the interaction between Greek and Roman culture and the neighbouring Semitic, Celtic, Germanic etc. cultures. Many articles are illustrated with maps, site plans, genealogical tables, and black-and white photographs. The New Pauly is essential to all collections supporting teaching and research in classical antiquity and the classical tradition as standard reference for students, teachers, and scholars alike.

About the New Pauly Online Edition

The New Pauly Online Edition combines a familiar look with fast and effective research facilities. The entire text of Metzler's Der neue Pauly, which was published in 18 volumes (13 on Antiquity, 5 on the Classical Tradition) and one index volume, is available here together with all volumes of Brill's New Pauly now in print, with regular updates when new translations become available. Advanced search facilities, complimented by keyword and subject indices, enable the user to search and combine data efficiently from a vast corpus of over 27,000 entries end sub-entries - within seconds.

The guiding principle in developing the online version of the New Pauly was to supply its users with exactly the same information the book itself would provide, while improving their ability to search and, consequently, use the information.
