PATROLOGY

COMPLETE COURSE,

OR A UNIVERSAL, INTEGRAL, UNIFORM, CONVENIENT, AND ECONOMICAL LIBRARY

OF ALL HOLY FATHERS, DOCTORS, AND ECCLESIASTICAL WRITERS,

EITHER LATIN OR GREEK,

WHO FLOURISHED FROM THE APOSTOLIC AGE TO THE TIME OF THE COUNCIL OF TRENT (YEAR 1545) FOR THE LATINS,

AND THE COUNCIL OF FLORENCE (YEAR 1439) FOR THE GREEKS:

CHRONOLOGICAL RE-EDITING

OF ALL MONUMENTS OF CATHOLIC TRADITION THAT HAVE EXISTED OVER THE FIRST FIFTEEN

CENTURIES OF THE CHURCH AND BEYOND,

According to the most accurate editions, collated with each other and with some manuscript codices, most diligently corrected; constantly illustrated with dissertations, commentaries, and various readings; augmented with all indices discovered after the most ample editions which are owed to the last three centuries; provided with particular analytical indices following individual volumes or authors of any importance; adorned with chapters duly arranged within the text of the pages themselves, as well as with titles distinguishing the upper margin of each page and signifying the subject matter; amplified with works, after the most ample editions, in order toward the times APOCRYPHAL?, some indeed possessing ecclesiastical authority:

Enriched with two hundred and more indices of authors as well as works, which are alphabetical, chronological, statistical, synthetic, analytical, and analogical, covering every point of religion, dogmatic, moral, liturgical, canonical, disciplinary, historical, and all others without any exception; but especially with two immense and general indices, namely, one of subjects, by consulting which, whatever not only such and such a Father, but even each individual Father, without omitting even one, has written on any topic, may be seen at a single glance; the other of Holy Scripture, in which it is obvious for the reader to find which Fathers and in which of their places have commented on the individual verses of the books of Holy 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 clarity of the characters, the quality of the paper, the integrity of the text, the perfection of the correction, the variety and number of the re-edited works, the format of the volumes, which is most convenient and constantly similar throughout the entire course of the Patrology, the low price, and especially this collection, which is single, methodical, and chronological, of six hundred fragments and short works hitherto scattered here and there, but gathered for the first time in our library from works and manuscripts pertaining to all ages, places, languages, and forms.
