SAPRAT, a partner of Biblissima, sees the development of two important programs for Biblissima+:

Multipal, the fruit of the work of the Group for Transversal Research in Paleography (GRTP: EPHE, ENC, Collège de France),
and e-Signa, a portal for medieval emblems, which pools data (coats of arms, crests, mottos, signatures) from databases and corpora of medieval sources listing these signs and their media: seals, monuments, stained glass, manuscripts, etc. (drawing on DEVISE, SIGILLA, ARMMA, COLLECTA, RCPPM, BIBALE, Corpus Vitrearum, etc.).

ARMMA - Armorial monumental du Moyen Âge		Base de données consacrée aux décors héraldiques exposés dans les monuments français du Moyen Âge et de la Renaissance. Responsables : Laurent Hablot (SAPRAT-EPHE) et Matteo Ferrari.
Books within Books		This database lists fragments of Hebrew manuscripts. Jewish libraries — private collections which suffered destruction more than any other — are only partially preserved today. Traces can be found of the remains of these collections in the fragments that were reused in Christian books. Through the identification, digitisation and study of these fragments it will be possible to reconstruct a virtual European Jewish library.
Collections of Greek Manuscripts in Europe		This corpus will form the basis of an interdisciplinary study and comparison of collections of Greek manuscripts in France and other European countries during the 16th and 17th centuries: physical description of the manuscripts from the selected collections, bibliography and history of the books, comparison with the information recorded in Monfaucon's Bibliotheca bibliothecarum.
DEVISE. Base de données sur l'emblématique européenne de la fin du Moyen Âge		Base de données consacrée aux emblèmes du Moyen Âge et de la Renaissance en Europe Responsable : Laurent Hablot (SAPRAT-EPHE)
Manuscripta Medica		This database, originally designed to describe the medical manuscripts held at the BnF (over 500), has been expanded to include Latin medical manuscripts that are held at other French libraries. The resulting data is compared to those found in other major European libraries with particular attention given to translations of Greek and Arabic medical texts into Latin in the 11th to 14th centuries.
MultiPal		Interactive tutorial in palaeography to learn how to decipher original manuscripts, documents and inscriptions in the full range of ancient and medieval scripts and languages.
SIGILLA - Base numérique des sceaux conservés en France		Base de données consacrée aux collections de sceaux conservées dans les fonds français. Responsables : Laurent Hablot (SAPRAT-EPHE), Catherine Kasteleiner, Thomas Brunner.
