APDB is a dynamic library created using the Collectio software. It is intended for research on the Apophthegmata Patrum (AP), that is the sayings of the desert fathers and mothers, in Latin often known as the Verba Seniorum, as well as other related early monastic literature. They are preserved in manuscripts in all the languages of Late Antique and Medieval Christianity. The aim is to include as many sources as possible that contain collections or dossiers of AP and other related monastic literature from editions, manuscripts and modern translations.

To the left you select how you would like to have the sources grouped that is either by ’Origin’ or by actual ’Language’. To select a source you mark its name in the Sources panel and then press ’>’. Above you select what type of comparison you would like to do (’References’, ’Related’ or ’Parallels’) and you will see the panels for creating output. In the ’Origin / Language’ panel you select what sources should be included in the comparison either ’All’ or one or more ’Origin’ or one or more actual ’Language’. For ’Related’ there is an ’Entity type’ panel where you select what level of entities to be included in the comparison. ’Base’ means ’Unit’ etc and ’High’ means ’Chapter’, ’Section’, ’Part’ and ’Source’. In the ’Output’ panel you select what should be presented, i.e. structure entities in a ’Table’ or ’Text’ either in columns or rows. If you select a source and then press the ’Metadata’ button you will get metadata for that source.
