  Das Corpus Inscriptionum Latinarum - Resources - Concordances
The early volumes of Corpus Inscriptionum Latinarum were printed one fascicle at a time, with the result that additions and corrections, as well as new and re-edited inscriptions, appear at a number of different points throughout each volume, making it difficult to search this material effectively.
In the CIL, especially in the earlier volumes, cross-references to are sometimes made to older collections of inscriptions, such as those of Gruter, Muratori, Brambach or Reinesius, when referring to inscriptions which at the time of publication had not yet appeared in the CIL.
Almost all the inscriptions in these collections have now been included in the CIL; however, a researcher whose starting-point is these older collections would have difficulty locating an inscription in the CIL and for this reason concordances to the older editions have been compiled.

  Corpus Inscriptionum Latinarum - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Corpus Inscriptionum Latinarum (CIL) is a comprehensive collection of ancient Latin inscriptions.
In 1847 a committee was created in Berlin with the aim of publishing an organized collection of Latin inscriptions, which had previously been described piecemeal by hundreds of scholars over the preceding centuries.
In those cases where a previously cited inscription could no longer be found, the authors tried to get an accurate reading by comparing the versions of the published inscription in the works of previous authors who had seen the original.

 Theodor Mommsen   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
At the beginning of his scientific career, Mommsen already envisioned a collection of all known ancient Latin inscriptions when he published the inscriptions of the Neapolitan Kingdom (1852).
The complete Corpus Inscriptionum Latinarum would consist of 16 volumes, of which 15 appeared during Mommsen's life, five made by Mommsen himself.
Furthermore, he played an important role in the publication of the Monumenta Germaniae Historica, the edition of the texts of the Church Fathers, the Limes research and countless other projects.

 Theodor Mommsen - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
His main work was the unfinished History of Rome, but today his most relevant work is perhaps the Corpus Inscriptionum Latinarum, a collection of Roman inscriptions he contributed to for the Berlin Academy.
While he was secretary of the Historical-Philological Class at the Berlin Academy (1874 - 1895), Mommsen organised countless scientific projects, mostly editions of original sources.
The basic principle of the edition (contrary to previous collections) was the method of autopsy (which in Greek means literally "to see for oneself"), according to which all extant inscriptions were tested and compared to the original.

Many Latin inscriptions have been published in the Corpus Inscriptionum Latinarum, which started in 1853, directed by the great German scholar Theodor Mommsen (1817-1903), who received the Nobel Price for his contribution to the study of the Roman Empire.
Other famous scholars connected to the CIL are Otto Hirschfeld (1843-1922) and Hermann Dessau (1856-1931).

 Mommsen, Theodor
By that time Mommsen had already conceived the plan for the Corpus Inscriptionum Latinarum, a comprehensive collection of Latin inscriptions preserved since antiquity on stone, iron, and other enduring materials, arranged according to the basic principles of philological methodology.
Having been prepared for this field by the young Kiel professor Otto Jahn, he soon became a master of epigraphy--the study and interpretation of inscriptions--under the guidance of Bartolomeo Borghesi, the learned statesman of San Marino.
Within the next several decades Mommsen made the corpus of Latin inscriptions into a source work that was essential in complementing the one-sidedly literary tradition and that, for the first time, made a comprehensive understanding of life in the ancient world possible.

 Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2005.04.58
The dipinti and graffiti of the Campanian cities buried by Mt. Vesuvius in A. 79, though not all too easily accessible (especially for the beginner), are among the most fascinating inscriptional texts preserved from Roman antiquity.
# II 200 (CIL IV 4957): It would have been of interest for the interpreter that this inscription was discovered not in a hotel (as easily might be guessed from the text and as is often written in publications on this text), but outside the officina of M. Surus Garasenus.
Two further minor objections: (i) The inscriptions are numbered separately in each chapter, which causes some trouble in finding certain texts, especially since Wallace gives reference to chapter, section, and number and the number of neither the chapter nor the section is indicated on the top of any page.

Useful general introduction, with bibliography (by topic), survey of CIL volumes, practical lists of Latin abbreviations, Roman emperors etc. The main body of the book is dedicated to discussions of individual inscriptions, with extensive comments, translations etc. There is an index of texts discussed, there are photos of all texts at the back.
The only corpus for the entire Greek-speaking world, but now, of course, both very incomplete and presenting editions of the texts which may be badly wrong.
It aims to be a 'repertorium' rather than a full corpus and the standard of publication varies very much from volume to volume.
