This cluster consists of full-text databases (namely, the Library of Latin Texts Series A, the Library of Latin Texts Series B, the Monumenta Germaniae Historica, the Archive of Celtic-Latin Literature and the Aristoteles Latinus Database) and Latin dictionaries (under the heading of the Database of Latin Dictionaries).

The most important objective of the project is to bring to scholarly attention the various forms in which Aristotles texts came to be read in the West.

The Latin versions of these texts constituted the main tools for the study of science and philosophy in the Middle Ages.

They were considered to be the canonized littera to which all the commentaries on Aristotles works referred.

The role played by these translations in the development of Western philosophical and scientific terminology can thus hardly be overestimated.

In the years just before 2000, the decision was made to produce a database of the collection of the Aristoteles Latinus texts.

The Aristoteles Latinus Database was conceived on the model of the Library of Latin Texts.

The first edition, the ALD-1, was published by Brepols in 2003, a collaboration between the Aristoteles Latinus Centre, at the Institute of Philosophy, KU Leuven under the direction of the late Pr.

Jozef Brams and the Centre Traditio Litterarum Occidentalium (CTLO) under the direction of Pr.

Paul Tombeur. It consisted essentially of the Latin texts published in the Aristoteles Latinus series.

In January 2017 there appeared the third release of the database, the ALD-3, under the direction of Pr.

Paul Tombeur. This release has been enriched with Latin translations of Aristotles works published outside the Aristoles Latinus series, with the translations of Greek commentaries on Aristotle and with other texts associated with the Corpus Aristotelicum.
