Complete Course of Patrology, or a Universal, Entire, Uniform, Convenient, and Economical Library of All the Holy Fathers, Doctors, and Ecclesiastical Writers, both Latin and Greek, who flourished from the Apostolic Age down to the time of Innocent III (AD 1216) for the Latins and down 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 carefully corrected according to the most accurate editions collated with one another and with several manuscript codices; continually illustrated with dissertations, commentaries, and variant readings; augmented by all the works discovered since the completion of the most ample editions owed to 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 beneath; enlarged with works both doubtful and apocryphal, yet possessing some authority in relation to ecclesiastical tradition; enriched with more than two hundred indexes, and above all with two vast and general ones, the first namely of Subjects, by consulting which whatever not only such or such a Father, but even every single Father without any exception has written upon any theme whatever may be seen at a single glance, and the second of Sacred Scripture, from which it is easy for the reader to discover which Fathers, and in which passages of their works, have commented upon the individual verses of the individual books of Scripture, from the first of Genesis to the last of the Apocalypse. A most accurate edition, easily to be preferred before 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 form of the volumes constantly uniform with itself throughout the whole course of the Patrology, the smallness of the price, and above all this single, methodical, and chronological collection of six hundred fragments and minor works hitherto scattered here and there, and now for the first time brought together in our Library from printed 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 the Complete Courses in the several branches of ecclesiastical science.

The Patrology, after the likeness of the Church herself, is divided into two parts, one namely Latin, the other Graeco-Latin; the Latin, now brought to completion in its entirety, stands in its bulk at two hundred and twenty volumes, and is sold for one thousand one hundred francs. The Greek has been committed to print in a twofold edition. The first comprises the Greek text with a facing Latin version at the side, and will perhaps exceed the number of one 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, and each purely Latin volume for five francs; in either case, however, in order that the buyer may enjoy the benefit of this price, it will be necessary for him to acquire the entire collection, whether Greek or Latin; otherwise, varying prices will match the size and difficulties of each volume.
