L’Année Philologique

L'Année Philologique is an index of publications related to the history, language, literature and civilization of ancient Greece and Rome. Publications indexed include periodical articles as well as articles in collections and conference papers in classics and classical studies.

L'Année Philologique covers Greek and Latin linguistics and literature, including early Christian texts and patristics, and Greek and Roman history, archaeology, mythology, religion, papyrology, epigraphy, numismatics and palaeography, philosophy, art, archaeology, religion, mythology, music, science, and all aspects of the ancient Mediterranean world.

Its coverage begins in the second millennium B. C. E. with pre-classical archaeology, and ends with the period of transition from late antiquity to the middle ages (roughly 500-800 C.E.), extending from the physical centers of ancient Greece and Rome to Northern and Eastern Europe, Asia Minor, the Middle East, and North Africa.

Many of the books and articles indexed in L'Année Philologique are in languages other than English. The database gives brief abstracts of journal articles; abstracts may be in French, German, English, Spanish or Italian. The abstract is not necessarily in the same language as the original reference. There are no abstracts given for books, but the database includes citations for book reviews.

L'Année Philologique is issued in collaboration with the American Philological Association and the Database of classical bibliography. L’Année philologique was founded in Paris by the latinist Jules Marouzeau (1878-1964), Professor at the Sorbonne, in 1928 and has been published annually since then.
