Lexicon Iconographicum Mythologiae Classicae information
Encyclopedia
The Lexicon Iconographicum Mythologiae Classicae (abbreviated LIMC) is a multivolume encyclopedia cataloguing representations of mythology in the plastic arts of classical antiquity.[1] Published serially from 1981 to 2009,[2] it is the most extensive resource of its kind,[3] providing "full and detailed information."[4] Entries are arranged alphabetically, with black-and-white illustrations indexed to their respective entries.[5] There is also an online database pertaining to the LIMC maintained at weblimc.org, called the Digital LIMC.
The work was prepared by international scholars from nearly 40 countries[6] who contributed in their language of choice, resulting in entries written variously in English, German, French, or Italian.[7] LIMC also offers a multilingual online database that is updated independently of the print publication.[8]
LIMC has been called an "indispensable research instrument,"[9] "monumental,"[10] and "magnificent."[11]
In the United States, LIMC is based at the Alexander Library of Rutgers University.[12]
