2021-03-26LiBER | Linear B Electronic Resources (v.2)
Since March 2021, the new version of the CNR database LiBER | Linear B Electronic Resources is online (liber.cnr.it). The project, developed by Maurizio Del Freo (CNR-ISPC) and Francesco Di Filippo (CNR-ISMed) with the collaboration of Françoise Rougemont (CNRS), aims to create an online electronic edition of Linear B texts, equipped with a search engine specifically designed for logo-syllabic scripts. At present, the database contains all Linear B documents from Knossos, Mycenae, Tiryns and Midea for a total of 4,406 texts. The database contains texts in transcription and photographs and includes information about scribes, findspots, chronologies and places of preservation. The search engine allows users to perform complex queries, the results of which can be displayed as word indexes, document lists, or findspot maps.
