Some of you no doubt knew already - it appears that the MGH is now on-line for free: http://www.dmgh.de/index.html

For those not so familiar with thos abbrevation, MGH stands for Monumenta Germaniae Historica - Theodor Mommsen's life work (in Latin, including the comments) with many good editions of ancient texts.
Of course, Mommen being Mommsen and the times the late 19th century, some texts were emended to his liking. But for the times, it was the best research ever done, and the texts as they go are still standard for many students.

For me it means adding a LOT of links to my online bibliography..

This is very great news indeed. I immediately mailed some friends.

OMG! Thanks a million for pointing me this way. Finally, no more climbing to the ninth floor and fighting the history librarian!

edit: Hey, what's with the CIL then?

Ausgezeichnet!!! Vielen danke mein fruend! r

My pleasure! But why in German? I'm Dutch (oh, you might be talking to Mommsen of course ).

That's my Germanic persona (Wilhelm Stroh), thanking you. *s*

P.D. I corrected several misspellings. Vor zwanzig jahren, Ich hatte viel Deutsch gelernt, und spaeter, viel vergessen.
