General Information

• Purpose

The purpose of the Cetedoc Library of Christian
Latin Texts (CLCLT) is to offer a database
comprising all patristic and medieval texts
covering authors from the 2nd to the 15th
century. In the near future, the inclusion of
Neo-Latin texts will expand its domain across the
chronological boundary formed by the 15th century.

General Information

• Content

The CLCLT database comprises almost all works
published in the Corpus Christianorum, both
Series Latina and Continuatio Mediaeualis. A
large number of works has been taken from
collections such as the Corpus Scriptorum
Ecclesiasticorum Latinorum, Sources Chrétiennes,
Migne's Patrologia Latina and other series. The
CLCLT-4, which constitutes the fourth edition of
the Library, has been enlarged by almost 4
million new forms. With its 38 million forms, it
contains the complete works of most of the major
patristic authors as well as those of several
medieval writers (e.g. Ambrose, Augustine,
Bernard of Clairvaux, Cassian, Gregory the Great,
Jerome, Marius Victorinus, Thomas a Kempis and
Thomas of Celano). Next to these, it includes the
Vulgate, the Old Testament Pseudepigraphs and the
Ecumenical Councils, both classical and
mediaeval. Among the newly added works are
Cyprian's Opera Omnia, several pseudo-Augustinian
works, translations from Greek authors,
Augustine's newly discovered sermons, the letters
of Petrus Damiani, Gratianus' Decretum, and many
other texts of primary importance.

Formarum examen
The Formarum examen enables to check, before
starting the search, the presence of all
interrogated forms in the general index covering
both CDs. If the unsuccessful search of a form
is due merely to a mistake on the users part,
this is made absolutely clear. REMARK the use
of truncated words (e.g. cetedo) disables this
