Founded in 1796, Brepols is an independent academic publisher with an international reputation for excellence in the humanities. Its partnership with the CSMBR includes the launch of Ars Longa: Texts and Traditions of Medicine from Antiquity to 1800, and a joint Residential Fellowship at Brepols’ Digital Classics Lab (CTLO) in Turnhout, Belgium.

The CTLO—Centre ‘Traditio Litterarum Occidentalium’—is Brepols’ in-house Digital Classics Lab that develops and produces full-text and dictionary databases, like the Library of Latin Texts, the Database of Latin Dictionaries, and other ancient-language databases.

In doing so, it continues and expands the activities of the former Cetedoc at the Université Catholique de Louvain in Louvain-la-Neuve under the scholarly guidance of its founder, Prof. Paul Tombeur, its current academic director, Prof. Toon Van Hal (KU Leuven), as well as a larger academic committee.

The research partnership with the CSMBR will offer fellows first-hand experience in supporting and updating standard reference tools in digital humanities by preparing new Latin texts or dictionaries for inclusion, attending to both the technical and linguistic analysis of the texts and redaction of relevant metadata.
