J.-P. Migne, Patrologiae cursus completus, series graeca, tomus XI, titulus

Complete Course of Patrology, or a 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 (AD 1216) for the Latins and to the times of Photius (AD 863) for the Greeks: a Chronological Reprinting of all extant Monuments of Catholic Tradition 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; enlarged with all the works discovered after 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, as well as with titles distinguishing the upper margin of each page and indicating the subject matter; amplified with both doubtful and apocryphal works that nevertheless possess some authority in relation to ecclesiastical tradition; enriched with two hundred and more indexes, and especially with two immense and general ones, namely the one of Subjects, by consulting which whatever not only this or that Father, but even every single one of the Fathers without any exception has written on any theme may be seen at a single glance, and the other of Sacred Scripture, from which it is easy for the reader to discover which Fathers and in what places of their works have commented upon each verse of each book of Scripture, from the first of Genesis down to the last of the Apocalypse. A most accurate edition, easily to be preferred to all others, if one considers the clearness of the type, the quality of the paper, the integrity of the text, the perfection of the correction, both the variety and the number of the works reprinted, the very convenient format of the volumes constantly uniform 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 opuscula hitherto scattered here and there, now for the first time united in our Library from works and manuscripts belonging to all ages, places, languages, and forms.

Greek Series, in which appear the Fathers, Doctors, and Writers of the Greek Church from St. Barnabas to Photius, edited by J.-P. Migne, editor of the Universal Library of the Clergy, or of Complete Courses in the several branches of ecclesiastical science.

The Patrology, like the Church herself, is divided into two parts, namely the one Latin, the other Graeco-Latin; the Latin, now completely printed, 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 double edition. The first comprises the Greek text with the Latin version alongside, and will perhaps exceed the number of a hundred volumes. The second exhibits the Latin version only, and will therefore be kept within about fifty volumes. Each Graeco-Latin volume is purchased for eight francs only, each purely Latin one for five francs: in either case, however, in order that the buyer may enjoy the benefit of this price, it will be necessary to acquire the entire collection, whether Greek or Latin; otherwise, varying prices will match the size and the difficulties of each volume.
