Series A is the world’s leading database for Latin texts. In total, the present version of the LLT-A contains over 63 million Latin words, drawn from more than 3,200 words that are attributed to approximately 950 authors. The texts which are incorporated are selected by virtue of their having been edited according to best contemporary scholarly practice. Independent research is undertaken to verify facts relating to the text, such as the veracity of the authorial attribution or the dating. In addition, errors in word forms from the printed version are corrected.

Series B gathers Latin texts of all genres and all periods. The data are therefore very diverse and include genres as varied as chronicles, medieval saints’ lives and travel narratives, legal texts, and theological, philosophical and scientific treatises from the early modern period. Above all, the emphasis is on the online availability of large corpora of texts. since 2009, the Vatican editions of the Ordinatio and the Lectura of John Duns Scotus, letters of Erasmus, the Opus maius of roger bacon and works of spinoza are searchable. In addition, all the texts from the Biblioteca Teubneriana Latina 1 are available as far as the editions have not been integrated in the LLT-A or have not been published after 1980.
