This publication is the result of a project funded by the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation (post-doctoral fellowship), led at the Department of Greek and Latin Philology at the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität in Munich. It consists of a new critical edition of The Venerable Bede's De locis sanctis, in a digital format, with details about the manuscripts, an index of every place-name cited in the text and a bibliography. 

The text may be displayed in 5 different ways:
    - Latin Text: the plain edited Latin text, with reproductions of the floor plans as drawn in Ms N.
    - Apparatus: the edited Latin text with its apparatus criticus. Each word is linked to the variants table: by clicking on a word in the text, you get the corresponding line in the table, showing you each manuscript version of the word. If you click on any Edited word in the table, it takes you back to the right line in the text. The apparatus table contains only expanded versions of the words; to get more information about the abbreviations and ligatures in the manuscripts, go to the Manuscripts tab.
    - Sources: each sentence of the text is given alongside the references of the passages Bede copied, abridged or paraphrased. A link to an online edition of the source is given whenever possible (CSEL - from the Open Greek and Latin Perseus Digital Library, Patrologia Latina - on archive.org, the Vulgate - from the Academic Bible website).
    - Toponyms: each reference to a place in the text is linked to its information sheet: by clicking on a highlighted term, you get an overview of the location, its alternate names, if Bede gives more than one denomination, and a short commentary.
    - Translation: an original French translation is given opposite to the Latin text.
