L’Année Philologique is a specialized bibliographic database of scholarly works relating to all aspects of Ancient Greek and Roman civilizations. The online database includes all volumes of the annual index, beginning with Volume I published in 1928.

Currently, access is available to both the current interface (APh) and the new interface (Brepolis) until April 14, 2018.  As of April 15, 2018, Brepols Publishing will be the sole source for UC’s license to L’Année Philologique.
