It has four main parts: #'''Collections''': The core of the Wiki are articles on all collections in the database of the same name, and a growing number of other Latin canon law collections. In a first step, the content of [http://www.mgh.de/dmgh/resolving/MGH_Hilfsmittel_21 Fowler-Magerl's 2005 ''Clavis canonum'' handbook] was uploaded (see the contributions of [[User:Linda Fowler-Magerl]]). Gradually, the articles were revised by other users, and supplemented by new articles on collections not covered by her book. As of {{CURRENTDAY}} {{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}, the Wiki contains {{PAGESINCATEGORY:Canonical Collection|pages}} articles on canonical collections. Most of them ({{PAGESINCATEGORY:Pre-Gratian Collection}}) are pre-Gratian, {{PAGESINCATEGORY:Collection not in Clavis database}} of which are not described in the 2005 Clavis handbook. See <big>'''[[Description of the collections]]'''</big> and [[:Category:Canonical Collection]] for an overview. #'''Manuscripts''': Since 2023, a growing number of articles on manuscripts has been added. Here, our main source was [https://archive.org/details/kery-1999-collections/page/1/mode/1up Kéry's invaluable manual]. It provided [[List of manuscripts in Kéry|the first 1,311 entries]]. The largest single additions are {{PAGESINCATEGORY:Manuscript of GR|pages}} Gratian manuscripts (see [[List of Gratian Manuscripts]]) and {{PAGESINCATEGORY:Manuscript of Liber Extra|pages}} copies of the ''Liber Extra'' (see [[List of Liber Extra manuscripts|List of ''Liber Extra'' manuscripts]]). A total of {{PAGESINCATEGORY:Manuscript not in Kery|pages}} manuscripts of pre-Gratian canonical collection not covered in the 1999 manual have been added, too. All in all, the Clavis Wiki now (as of {{CURRENTDAY}} {{CURRENTMONTHNAME}}) contains {{PAGESINCATEGORY:Manuscript|pages}} articles on manuscripts. For an overview, see the [[:Category:Manuscripts]]. #'''Bibliography''': We have included a revised version of the bibliography of the Clavis canonum handbook. The bibliography also contains the short titles for books and articles frequently quoted in the handbook. Have a look: '''[[Bibliography]]'''. #'''Database''': The database, like the handbook, is in the course of beeing updated. We added new search functions, designed a new user interface, and added new collections (including the ''[[Decretum Gratiani]]'', key {{Coll|GR}} in the database) to the database. All in all, there are {{PAGESINCATEGORY:New Collection|pages}} collections newly added to the database and {{PAGESINCATEGORY:Work in Progress|pages}} more to be added soon. For the keys used here, see the relevant lists: [[List of collections (keys and titles only)]] and [[List of author group keys]]. The database itself is found here '''https://data.mgh.de/databases/clavis/db/'''. We also plan to have (more) articles on editions ([[:Category:Edition]]), and for some collections to compile separate lists of manuscripts (see [[:Category:List]]). For information on {{PAGESINCATEGORY:Library|pages}} archives and libraries holding canon law manuscripts, see the [[:Category:Library]]. ==Getting started== *What is ''Clavis canonum'' anyhow?
