Access through Dyabola main page. “… individual entries in the database allow rapid access to complex, iconographic, epigraphic, social, chronological and geographic aspects. The descriptions of the picture motifs distinguish simple motifs, types and patterns which can be called up individually and in combination. In addition, over 900 descriptive and typological terms were specially developed on the material. Allocations and determinations are justified in a monograph by the author. The book and the database can be mutually checked, whereby the database comprises more monuments and pictures.”
