EPICA shares the same main principles of transparency, repeatability, and continent wide harmonization of data and procedures, as well as the compilation strategies and methods with SHEEC 1000-1899, of which it is an update. EPICA relies upon the knowledge of European preinstrumental seismicity gathered in the European Archive of Historical Earthquake Data AHEAD, in terms of macroseismic intensity data supplied by descriptive historical seismological studies and macroseismic databases, and parameters from catalogues. Multiple datasets available in AHEAD for each earthquake were thoroughly analyzed and compared, in order to select the most representative of the knowledge of the earthquake, independently from national limitations. Available intensity data are processed with specific methods. Locations and harmonized magnitudes from selected regional catalogues are adopted if intensity data are not available, otherwise they are combined with those from intensity data for the sake of homogeneity. EPICA version 1.1 contains 5703 earthquakes with either maximum observed intensity ≥5 or Mw ≥4.0. It relies on 160 sources of MDPs and 39 regional catalogues selected from AHEAD. Parameters are newly assessed from MDPs with harmonized procedures for 3297 earthquakes. EPICA input data are selected from the European Archive of Historical Earthquake Data (AHEAD) and consist of 160 sources of macroseismic data points (MDPs) and 39 regional catalogues. Parameters are assessed from available macroseimic intensity data, by means of specific published methods based either on the attenuation of macroseismic intensity as a function of the distance of each MDP from the source and the earthquake magnitude, or from the locations and epicentral intensity provided in selected regional catalogues. If both types of data are available, they are combined for the sake of homogeneity.
