The Migne Reading Room

The Fathers of the Church as Migne printed them: every page scanned, every column numbered, with the Latin and Greek set from the page and a new English translation beside it, growing volume by volume.

ProgressWhat is in the reading room

Already here: nearly the whole Patrologia, readable in one place. 365 of Migne's 382 volumes, about 258,000 pages, each scanned page shown beside its machine-read text and citable by Migne's own column numbers. Verified Latin, Greek and English fill in behind it, volume by volume.
