ONLY ACCESSIBLE IN THE LIBRARY. Accordance is unique in the way it brings together research-grade primary sources and scholarly tools.

The Thesaurus Linguae Graecae (TLG®) is a research center at the University of California, Irvine. Founded in 1972 the TLG has already collected and digitized most literary texts written in Greek from Homer to the fall of Byzantium in AD 1453. Its goal is to create a comprehensive digital library of Greek literature from antiquity to the present era.

Provides a virtual library of all that is important in Greek and Latin literature. Epic and lyric poetry; tragedy and comedy; history, travel, philosophy, and oratory; the great medical writers and mathematicians; those Church Fathers who made particular use of pagan culture — in short, our entire Greek and Latin Classical heritage is represented here with up-to-date texts and accurate English translations. More than 520 volumes of Latin, Greek, and English texts are available, allowing readers to browse, search, bookmark, annotate, and share content.

Perseus is by far the best single Greco-Roman resource on the internet. It is however geared much more towards classical study than exegetical study. It includes most major classical authors, major lexicons, and many commentaries and reference works.

The Library of Ancient Texts Online aims to be the internet's most thorough catalogue of online copies of ancient Greek texts, both in Greek and in translation. This is a site for all with an interest in the Classics. Very many texts from Ancient Greece are available on the worldwide web, at a variety of sites, in a variety of formats, and in a variety of languages. However, even sites like Perseus lack many texts.

The Corpus Scriptorum Latinorum (CSL) is a collaborative project among scholars from a variety of disciplines with the main purpose of creating a digital library of Latin literature, spanning from the earliest epigraphic remains to the Neo-Latinists of the eighteenth century. Toward this end, we maintain an up-to-date catalogue of all Latin texts that are currently available online, making CSL a single, centralized resource for locating Latin literature on the internet.

Given the nature of background studies for exegesis this site ranks as essential due to the way it is organized around subject matter, rather than just authors and works. It is part of a larger “Sourcebook,” which includes medieval and modern permutations.
