The French website Pinakes – Textes et manuscrits grecs aims at compiling information on all Greek texts up to the 16th century based on archive and library catalogues. Pinakes has about 200000 entries based on 13000 texts of which there are a total of 40000 manuscripts. There are two search options: you can either search for a specific manuscript or conduct a more general research (author, work, century, country). Also, you can search for specific saints as Pinakes also provides the digitised manuscripts of the Greek hagiographic manuscripts of the Société des Bollandistes (BHGms, Bibliotheca Hagiographica Graeca manuscripta). They also link to useful resources and further catalogues. The website is updated regularly.
