Dear colleagues around the world,

Good news for classical scholarship is coming out of the /Thesaurus /today.

It involves open access to the /Thesaurus linguae Latinae/, the most 
comprehensive dictionary of ancient Latin.

The excellent TLL database produced by the publishing house /De 
Gruyte//r/ has been available for a long time. As is well known, it 
provides a wealth of features to illustrate the "depth" of the Lemma 
entries fully, to easily follow cross-references, and to visualize and 
search through the passages in multiple ways. Access is subject to a 
fee, but many research institutions and libraries provide free access to 
their users.

Now, in consultation with the publisher and in cooperation with the IT 
department of the /Bavarian Academy of Sciences and Humanities/, we are 
able to offer an open-access PDF version (organized by volumes and 
lemmata) of the previously published volumes A - M and O - P. Access is 
free of charge. Of course, this does not replace the platform offered by 
the publishing house, but it is a huge step towards greater 
accessibility around the world, independently of institutions. We 
sincerely hope that that the possibilities it offers will benefit future 
research. We ask for your help sharing this information with your 
colleagues and we welcome feedback of all kinds.

Access is now possible via our homepage: 
http://www.thesaurus.badw.de/en/tll-digital/tll-open-access.html.
