Johannes Deissler sent this one along:
This is just a quick email to inform you that a beta of the ‘Bibliographie zur antiken Sklaverei Online (BASO) / Bibliography Ancient Slavery Online (BASO)’ database is now online for personal research.
The database can be accessed at www.sklaven.adwmainz.de – menu "Bibliographie" or http://www.sklaven.adwmainz.de/index.php?id=1584
BASO contains all monographs, essays and encyclopaedia articles for the academic study of ancient slavery, which became known to the Mainz Academy project "Forschungen zur antiken Sklaverei". It combines all titles already included in the last printed edition of 2003 (http://www.steiner-verlag.de/titel/53901.html), and some 4,000 newly collected data.
In the coming weeks, the database will be refined (including English interface) and additional bibliographic information will be implemented.
Your comments, questions and critiques are welcome.
A circulation of this information among colleagues is requested.
With best wishes
