Click on an info button to the right of a search field for more information about its contents and the possible search criteria. Now also offering clickable lists where possible!
If you want to exclude texts according to criteria, please use 'NOT' (in capitals) before the search term, e.g. 'ostracon NOT pottery' to search for ostraca that are not written on pottery.
If you want to search for multiple criteria, please use 'OR' (in capitals) to separate criteria, e.g. 'gold OR silver' to search for texts written on gold or silver.
Adding the default boolean 'AND' is not necessary.
Use the Texts search mask if you want to search for non-literary texts also.
WORK IN PROGRESS. Currently only books/chapters and verses of Homer or Bible books work, e.g. 'Mark' in author, combined with '1' in book/chapter and '15' in verse will find all manuscripts attesting Mark 1,15. Other literary works will follow in a few weeks.
For the time being, the non-searchable (and as yet unconverted) indications for passages are also shown: as a rule for books a prefix '0' has been added, e.g, 'Ilias 07, 022' for books 7 and 22 of the Iliad. For manuscripts containing the whole Iliad, the books have not been tagged individually. For authors and works other than Homer or the Bible it is best to look for the author or work and take it further from the results.
Four categories and their combinations can be used here:
Literature: The text is meant to be read by a reading public, rather than written for practical purposes. Thus the Old and the New Testaments, when in book form, are literature, and so are medical and grammatical books. But if the text is meant to be used in school, in the liturgy of the church or has magical purposes, it also becomes "science" or "religion". On the whole, we have assumed that texts are "literature", unless there are clear indications to the contrary. A double identity is possible (e.g. literature and science for commentaries and scholia, literature and religion for lectionaria). Here as elsewhere we have followed the lead of the editors and the repertories.
Science: Science is everything which can be classified as medicine (for inclusion and exclusion we have simply followed Marganne-Mertens), philology, mathematics (including school exercices), astronomy, geography, and related genres. All school texts (e.g. all texts listed by Cribiore) are listed as "science", because their purpose is instruction, not reading. Note that a text can be literature and science, e.g. a school text of Homer, a copy of Homer with scholia, a medical treatise etc.
Religion: All writing intended for use in religious ceremonies is included here, e.g. liturgical texts, magic, prayer books. Note that a copy of the Old or New Testament, when part of a book, is classified as "literature", but a copy of Psalm 90 used as an amulet also belongs to "religion".
Art: Texts for visually artistic purposes, e.g. drawings and paintings. For all illustrated manuscripts with drawings, just use 'drawing' as search criterion in this field.
The field Genre is a subdivision of the field Culture, with the following possible search criteria (boolean combinations possible):
Texts classified in Culture as Literature are divided in poetry and prose. Each of these is further subdivided in the traditional genres, such as epic, lyric, comedy, or tragedy for poetry, and history, philosophy, novel, oratory, or wisdom for prose. The subdivisions are not clear-cut and do not always work outside classical literature, but they can be useful to study the different genres and subgenres over the centuries.
Science includes subdivisions such as astronomy, grammar, mathematics, medicine, philology, tachygraphy etc. In many instances science and literature are combined, e.g. an edition of Callimachus (literature, lyric) with scholia (science, philology, scholia).
Religion has subdivisions such as prayer, magic, liturgy or theology.
Texts from the Culture categories literature or religion are subdivided here according to their religious background.
Here is a list of terms used (combinations are possible).
The main purpose is to make a division between "pagan" (here called classical, including also history) and christian literature (however that should be defined precisely). In this sense the sections to a large extent coincide with the catalogues of Gigante and Pack (except for the scientific works) on the one side, and Van Haelst on the other.
We are currently reworking this section.
Sometimes more than a single text occurs on a single object. According to our criteria, texts are part of the same document (and thus constitute a single entry in TM Texts) when they are intentionally related, i.e. when the scribe of a secondary text - whether or not the same person as the writer of the primary text - wanted this to be on the same object or writing surface because there was in his mind a connection with the contents of the primary text. For more details about our criteria to decide whether texts are part of the same record, click here.
We use the following terms:
If two texts occur on the same writing surface, but are not intentionally related, the object or writing surface has been reused as 'old paper', 'old stone' or whatever the material used. This can be done in many different ways: one is to erase the primary text and to inscribe it with a new one. In that case the original, effaced text is a 'palimpsest old', while the text that is written above it is a 'palimpsest new'. Another possibility is that the blank side of an object, e.g. the verso of a papyrus or the back of a marble plate, is reused. In that case the primary text is marked as 'blank side reused by', the secondary as 'reuse of blank side of'. Finally, blank space can be reused. Examples of this are described as 'blank space reused by' or 'reuse of blank space of'.
In Trismegistos, each text written on what was originally a separate object or writing surface constitutes an individual record. Sometimes, however, two or more documents (often papyri) were in a second stage joined for their users' convenience, often because their complementary contents. This type of connection is also recorded, as 'in the codex joined with' for manuscripts bound together, or as 'in the tomos synkollesimos joined with' for texts made into a roll (click here for more information).
The history of reuse can at times be very complicated (for some complex cases, click here). As a result if can be time-consuming to figure out the exact relation between various texts constituting a single document. In many cases therefore users will find the general 'other texts on the same object'. We would welcome your help in changing this into something more specific.
Finally, please note that reuse has not been the focus of Trismegistos Texts so far, and no doubt many examples are not recorded by us. Because of the expansion of TM and collaboration with partners, we also have not monitored closely whether new entries are conform with what we consider to be a single document to be recorded. Please use the information to explore and illustrate only!
The language in which a text was written. For Egyptian the names of the various scripts are used: hieroglyphic, hieratic, Demotic, Coptic. In many but not all cases dialects of Coptic have been specified.
You can also search for bilingual texts in general, or just search for a combination of two languages, e.g. Demotic Greek for bilingual texts with Greek and Demotic. The standard boolean operator is 'AND', but you can add ' OR ' (in capitals)

Your search can be supplemented with the type of object on which a text is written, for the LDAB e.g.:
book cover
mummy bandage
mummy cartonnage
ostracon
shroud
tablet
vessel
wax tablet
For codex, roll, and sheet, see below 'Bookform'.
The possibile search terms are:
Roll: three criteria have led us to classify a text as a roll.
Only papyri (and rarely parchments) can be rolls. Rotuli are marked as such, most of the other examples are scrolls.
Codex: the text continues on the back. We explicitly mark miniature codices and examples of a codex purpureus as such. Most codices are on parchment, but there are also examples on papyrus. A special type of codex is a set of bound tablets, as can be deduced from the existence of holes.
Sheet: the text is not part of a roll nor of a codex, but was meant to be a single sheet. Ostraca are always called sheets, and single wooden tablets are so as well.
Fragment: the text (or the editor) does not provide enough information to classify the fragment with certainty as a roll or a sheet.
More work is needed to distinguish sheets from rolls and fragments. Editors rarely give reasons for marking a fragment as part of a roll, but they presumably base this on the use of a book hand. Some are more reticent than others: Pack for example explicitly marks codices as such, but never indicates if a text belongs to a roll. Some editors consider every fragment of a larger work as a roll, if the verso is blank and the text is written in a literary hand. If they are silent on the matter, we have not always ourselves applied this argument. For that reason there are still a large number of fragments which could also be classified as rolls.
Script has not been treated with in a very systematic way. The following search terms can be used:
A lot depends on the terminology in the books from which we entered the information: for Latin texts, we have followed the terminology used by 'Lowe, CLA'; for Greek that of 'Cavallo, Ricerche sulla maiuscola biblica', although we have used other classifications. For Greek and Latin a basic distinction is that between majuscule or uncial and minuscule. Grouped per language and in alphabetic order the following are the most important:
General: clumsy, cursive, documentary, formal, informal, round, semi-cursive, sloping, upright.
Greek and Coptic: Alexandrian majuscule (unimodular or bimodular) and Alexandrian stylistic class (a somewhat broader term), biblical majuscule, chancery script, epsilon theta style, formal round, informal round, mixed style, pointed majuscule, rustic capital, severe style, upper line script.
Latin: Allemannic minuscule, Anglo-Saxon majuscule or Anglo-Saxon minuscule, az minuscule, b-d uncial, Beneventan minuscule, BR uncial, (early) Caroline minuscule, Corbie ab-script, pre-Caroline minuscule, insular majuscule, insular minuscule, Irish majuscule, Irish minuscule, Luxueil minuscule, Luxueil uncial, Maurdramnus minuscule, Rhaetian minuscule, (early) (half / quarter) uncial, Visigothic minuscule.
Syriac: (Nestorian / Edessene) estrangela, serto.
Aramaic and Hebrew: Cryptic A, paleo-Hebrew script, Palestinian Syriac.
Arabic: Hiyazi, Kufic, Medinan, Naskh.
Georgian: Asomtavruli majuscule, Nuskhuri.
You can limit your search chronologically, by default strictly, although you can opt for a flexible search on the disambiguation page. In principle you can use any date expression or range (see lists below), but in the LDAB most texts are only dated by century or centuries.
A list with examples of predefined ranges (centuries, reigns, dynasties, periods) and specific dates that can be entered succesfully, to be adapted according to your needs:

You can also create custom-made ranges of modern or ancient years, and in one specific way also for centuries, e.g.:
BC02 - AD05 [currently only functional form of century range]
BC 199 to 100 [we use .99 - .00 and .00 - .99 for centuries]
BC 95 - 91
15 - 7 BC
CE 45 - 56
7 - 24 AD
15 to 10 BC
from 15 until 10 BC
15 till 10 BC
The following dynastic and century dates do NOT yet work:
5th to 6th century
7th to 2nd century BC
Dynasty 25 - 27
early 26th Dyn.
25th to 27th Dynasty
The place where a text was found or written. You can use modern countries, ancient regions and provinces (see lists below), or names of ancient or modern cities (no list available because too numerous, but we should have plenty of variants for each toponym).
It is currently not possible to distinguish place of writing from find place in searches. For literary texts more than other, the two do not need to be identical. For school texts and paraliterary texts we have assumed they are, and manuscripts in which reuse is involved have been assigned to the place where the documentary texts was written.

Finally, as a tool interested in codicology, the LDAB is incomplete when it comes to bibliography. The purpose is to find and count manuscripts, not secondary literature.
The name of the editor of the text. We use surname followed by a comma and first name, but just the surname or other combinations of first name and surname may also work.
Editors of LDAB texts:
Check out TM Editors if this is your primary interest.
The year of an edition. A search for 1972 will find all texts edited in 1972, although very likely this will not be their only edition. Ranges are also possible, e.g. 1914-1918 for texts edited in the WWI. If you are searching for editions from a specific year or range (rather than for texts), your better option is here.
Keep in mind that we have most papyrological editions and those dealing with Demotic, but only a selection of most other categories.
For early medieval manuscripts we have indicated the libraries to which they once belonged. For Latin texts we found this information in CLA, but it is also important for Greek, Coptic and Syriac texts, with the great libraries of St. Catherine (Sinai) or Mary at Deipara (Wadi Natrun). If a literary texts belongs to an ancient archive, this also noted here.
