Summary/Abstract: Seals are important for many branches of Byzantine studies, but they are hard to use. Their edited texts are often improved by new readings or the discovery of better copies, and redating is common. But there is no sure way of discovering whether any such corrections have been published for an edition you wish to use. A website under construction to help with this problem already contains details of nearly 10,000 seals.
