The European PreInstrumental Earthquake CAtalogue (EPICA) (Rovida and Antonucci, 2021; https://doi.org/10.13127/epica.1.1) is the 1000–1899 seismic catalogue compiled for the European Seismic Hazard Model 2020 (ESHM20), an outcome of the project Seismology and Earthquake Engineering Research Infrastructure Alliance for Europe (SERA), in the framework of the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme. EPICA is the update of the SHARE European Earthquake Catalogue (SHEEC) 1000–1899, with which it shares the main principles – mostly transparency, repeatability and continent-wide harmonisation of data – as well as the compilation strategies and methods.Version 1.1 of EPICA contains 5703 earthquakes with either maximum intensity ≥5 or M_w≥4.0, with a spatial coverage from the Atlantic Ocean to the west to 32^∘ E in longitude, and from the Mediterranean Sea to Northern Europe.EPICA relies upon the updated knowledge of the European preinstrumental seismicity provided by the data gathered in the European Archive of Historical Earthquake Data (AHEAD). Such data are both macroseismic intensity data supplied by descriptive historical seismological studies and online macroseismic databases, and parameters contained in regional catalogues. As done for the compilation of SHEEC 1000–1899, these datasets were thoroughly analysed in order to select the most representative of the knowledge of each earthquake, independently from national constraints. Selected intensity distributions are processed with three methods to determine location and magnitude based on the attenuation of macroseismic intensity and are combined with parameters harmonised from modern regional catalogues.This paper describes the compilation procedure of EPICA version 1.1, its input data, the assessment of the earthquake parameters and the resulting catalogue, which is finally compared with its previous version. Technical solutions for accessing the catalogue, both as downloadable files and through web services, are also illustrated.

European Preinstrumental Earthquake Catalogue EPICA，欧洲地震灾害模型 2020 的 1000–1899 目录

欧洲仪器前地震目录 (EPICA)（Rovida 和 Antonucci，2021 年；https://doi.org/10.13127/epica.1.1）是为欧洲地震灾害模型 2020 (ESHM20) 编制的 1000–1899 年地震目录，其结果在欧盟地平线 2020 研究和创新计划的框架内，欧洲地震学和地震工程研究基础设施联盟 (SERA) 项目的成员。EPICA 是 SHARE 欧洲地震目录 (SHEEC) 1000–1899 的更新版本，它共享主要原则——主要是透明度、可重复性和全大陆数据协调——以及汇编策略和方法。EPICA 1.1 版包含₅₇₀₃次最大强度≥5或Mw≥4.0的地震, 空间覆盖从大西洋向西到 32 ^∘ E 为经度，从地中海到北欧。EPICA 依赖于欧洲历史地震数据档案 (AHEAD) 中收集的数据提供的欧洲仪器前地震活动的最新知识。这些数据既是描述性历史地震学研究和在线宏观地震数据库提供的宏观地震烈度数据，也是区域目录中包含的参数。正如 SHEEC 1000-1899 的编纂所做的那样，对这些数据集进行了彻底的分析，以便独立于国家限制选择最能代表每次地震的知识。选定的强度分布采用三种方法处理，以确定基于宏观地震烈度衰减的位置和震级，并结合现代区域目录协调的参数。本文描述了 EPICA 1.1 版的编制程序、输入数据、评估地震参数和生成的目录，最后与之前的版本进行了比较。还说明了访问目录的技术解决方案，包括可下载文件和网络服务。
