Description   Iter: Gateway to the Renaissance is a non-profit research project to increase access to all published materials pertaining to the Middle Ages and Renaissance (400-1700), through the creation of online bibliographic databases. The following databases/resources are currently available to our users:

Iter Bibliography
Citations for books, journal material (articles, reviews, review articles, bibliographies, catalogues, abstracts and discographies) are included, as are citations for essays in books (including entries in conference proceedings, festschriften, encyclopedias and exhibition catalogues) pertaining to the Middle Ages and Renaissance (400-1700). There are online lists for the journals and the scholarly collections that have been indexed.
Updated: Daily

International Directory of Scholars
Combines the information in the directories of the Renaissance Society of America (RSA) and the Sixteenth Century Society and Conference (SCSC). Members of these societies provide affiliation and addresses as well as detailed information on their research and teaching careers.
Updated: Regularly, as supplied by the RSA and SCSC.

Iter Italicum
Online version of Paul Oskar Kristeller's Iter Italicum, the most comprehensive finding list available of previously uncataloged or incompletely cataloged Renaissance humanistic manuscripts found in libraries and collections all over the world. Originally published in six volumes between 1963 and 1992, it is an essential tool for any scholar working in the fields of classical, medieval and Renaissance studies. See print: Iter Italicum: a Finding List of Uncatalogued or Incompletely Catalogued Humanistic Manuscripts of the Renaissance in Italian and other Libraries. (Alexander Library)

Renaissance Quarterly and Renaissance Quarterly Reviews preprints
Online access to Renaissance Quarterly (RQ) enables you to search, view, and print the full-text of the journal from volume 53, no. 1 (2000). This resource is also linked from IRIS and LinkSource for Rutgers. Iter also links to RQ book reviews prior to the appearance of their respective journal issue.
Updated: RQ issues go online several months after the appearance of the print issues.

Medici Archive Project
This evaluation version of MAP's Documentary Sources database currently describes 200 volumes of documents in the Medici Granducal Archive (Archivio Mediceo del Principato, 1537-1743), with document records for approximately 10,000 letters and biographical records for approximately 11,000 people.

Milton Bibliography
This bibliography is an extensive revision and continuation of Milton: A Bibliography for the Years 1624-1700, published by Medieval & Renaissance Texts & Studies (MRTS), Binghamton, New York, in 1984, and it is the only Milton bibliography that covers the eighteenth century. The bibliography tries to bring together all manuscripts and editions of Milton's works and all studies and critical statements concerning Milton's life and works, all allusions and quotations, and all significant imitations during the years 1624-1799. Users can browse by century or year, or perform Boolean, keyword or phrase searches. Cross references within the bibliography are hypertext links, allowing for ease of navigation. Shawcross's work represents an invaluable resource for Milton scholars, and literary, history, and publication scholars of both the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.
