The works published in Corpus Christianorum are critical editions of texts by Christian authors from Late Antiquity till the end of the Middle Ages, with the expectation that they will serve as reference-works, supplemented by the production of ancillary handbooks, bibliographies, monographic studies and electronic databases to help study all aspects related to these texts. The development of this toolset is set to gather pace in the future and will increasingly involve the creation of online databases and electronic tools of the highest calibre.
The Series Latina comprises critical editions of all the Latin texts from the first eight centuries of the Christian era.
The series Continuatio Mediaevalis assembles texts from the Carolingian era to the end of the Middle Ages. It also includes works absent from Migne’s Patrologia Latina or published elsewhere in a deficient way.
The Series Graeca has been set up with the explicit aim of filling the gaps in Migne’s Patrologia Graeca and redoing editions published elsewhere in a deficient way. Priority is given to post-Nicene authors, thus completing the Berlin corpus. The works of Gregory of Nazianzus are published in the subseries Corpus Nazianzenum.
