The BIBLINDEX project is carried out by the "Institut des Sources Chretiennes", part of HiSoMA (CNRS UMR 5189).  Biblindex is funded mainly by the "Cluster 13" of the Rhone-Alpes Regional Council and by the "Maison de l'Orient et de la Mediterranee-Jean Pouilloux".  The first stage of the project is completed.  An index of approximately 400,000 biblical quotations and references from Greek and Latin patristic texts of the first five centuries is now available online.

This index is essentially based on:
-- published volumes of Biblia Patristica, CNRS Editions, 1975-2000.
-- archives of the "Centre d'Analyse et de Documentation Patristique" (CADP) concerning Athanasius of Alexandria, Cyril of Alexandria, John Chrysostom, Theodoret of Cyrus, Procopius of Gaza, Jerome.

This is only the first step towards a comprehensive index of all biblical references from patristic writings. Functional improvements are still necessary. In November, to this end, an application was submitted to ANR, a project-based funding Agency, to advance French research. Simple searches of the available corpus are already possible, however.
