Trial access to the New Paula Online

Charles University has trial access to New Pauly Online, the German edition of Der Neue Pauly, and two supplements in both languages. This trial is accessible until 31.08.2025

New Pauly is an unrivalled modern reference work for the ancient world. The Antiquity of Brill´s New Pauly section is devoted to Greco-Roman antiquity. It covers more than two thousand years of history, ranging from the second millennium BC to early medieval Europe. Special emphasis is given to the interaction between Greco-Roman culture as well as Semitic, Celtic, Germanic, and Slavonic culture, and ancient Judaism, Christianity, and Islam.

The section on the Classical Tradition is concerned with the long and influential aftermath of antiquity and the process of continuous reinterpretation and revaluation of the ancient heritage, including the history of classical scholarship.

Access to both versions and supplements:

New Pauly Online

New Pauly Supplements Online I & Der Neue Pauly Supplemente I Online

New Pauly Supplements Online II & Der Neue Pauly Supplemente II Online

About a new library platform

After the summer holidays, you can look forward to a new look of discovery service UKAŽ. In addition to searching for printed and electronic resources from Charles University’s library collections, the new UKAŽ will provide users with direct access to their accounts - everything will be newly available in one place, under one account, with a single online registration to all CU libraries.

The environment for librarians will change as well – ALMA, a modern library platform. From the coming academic year, Charles University will be the first one in the Czech Republic to provide library services in the same system as Harvard, Leuven, Vienna and other foreign universities.
