Complete Course of Patrology, or Universal, Entire, Uniform, Convenient, Economical Library of All the Holy Fathers, Doctors, and Ecclesiastical Writers, whether Latin or Greek, who flourished from the Apostolic Age to the time of Innocent III (year 1216) for the Latins and to the times of Photius (year 863) for the Greeks: a chronological reprinting of all the monuments of Catholic tradition that have existed through the first twelve centuries of the Church and more, most diligently corrected according to the most accurate editions, collated with one another and with several manuscript codices; continually illustrated with dissertations, commentaries, and various readings; augmented with all the works discovered since the most ample editions completed in the last three centuries; furnished with particular analytical indexes following each volume or author of any importance; adorned with chapters duly arranged within the text itself, and also with titles distinguishing the upper margin of each page and indicating the subject matter; enlarged with works both doubtful and apocryphal, yet possessing some authority with respect to ecclesiastical tradition; enriched with two hundred and more indexes; and above all with two immense and general ones, namely the one of Subjects, by consulting which whatever not only such and such a Father, but even each single Father, without any exception, has written upon any theme whatever may be seen at a single glance; the other of Sacred Scripture, from which it is easy for the reader to discover which Fathers, and in which places of their works, have commented upon each single verse of each book of Scripture, from the first of Genesis to the last of the Apocalypse. A most accurate edition, easily to be preferred to all others, if one considers the clearness of the characters, the quality of the paper, the integrity of the text, the perfection of the correction, both the variety and the number of the reprinted works, the very convenient form of the volumes constantly uniform with itself throughout the whole course of the Patrology, the smallness of the price, and especially this single, methodical, and chronological collection of six hundred fragments and small works hitherto scattered here and there, and now for the first time united in our Library from works and manuscripts pertaining to all ages, places, languages, and forms.

The Patrology, after the likeness of the Church herself, is divided into two parts, namely the one Latin, the other Graeco-Latin; the Latin, now completely produced, stands in its bulk at two hundred and twenty volumes, and is sold for eleven hundred francs. The Greek has been committed to print in a twofold edition. The first comprises the Greek text with a lateral Latin version, and will perhaps exceed the number of a hundred volumes. The second presents the Latin version only, and therefore will be kept within about fifty volumes. Each Graeco-Latin volume is purchased for eight francs only, each purely Latin one for five francs: in both cases, however, in order that the buyer may enjoy the benefit of this price, it will be necessary that he purchase the entire collection, whether Greek or Latin; otherwise, varying prices will match the size as well as the difficulties of each volume.
