The purpose of this website is to provide accurate digital transcriptions of select Latin translations of works by the Greek fathers that were published in the 19th century by J.-P. Migne in the Patrologia Graeca (PG) series. For more details, see the Project Rationale.

The texts are provided in PDF documents that have been protected from printing and downloading, but they are searchable with an Internet search engine such as Google or the Adobe Reader search function.

The transcription principles for this project involve minimal alteration of the texts. The original orthography used by Migne has been retained, except that the diphthongs æ and œ have been converted from single character graphemes into their constituent separate vowels (ae and oe, respectively) and diacritical accent marks on certain proper nouns (e.g. Esaü) have been omitted to facilitate electronic searching.

This website currently provides searchable transcriptions of the following PG editions:

Basilius Magnus, Homiliae IX in Hexameron (PG 29, 3-207) CN

Iohannes Chrysostomus, De laudibus sancti Pauli homiliae (PG 50, 473-514) CN

Iohannes Chrysostomus, Dialogus de sacerdotio (PG 48, 623-91) CM

Iohannes Chrysostomus, In epistolam ad Hebraeos homeliae (PG 63, 9-236) CM

Gregorius Nazianzenus, Orationes I-V (PG 35, 395-719) CM
     - Oratio I, Oratio II, Oratio III, Oratio IV, Oratio V

Pseudo-Chrysostomus, Opus imperfectum in Mattheum (PG 56, 611-946) JB
     - Prologus + Homiliae I-XV (PG 56, 611-722)
     - Homiliae XVI-XXXV (PG 56, 722-832)
     - Homiliae XXXVI-LIV (PG 56, 832-946)

Iohannes Chrysostomus, Homiliae I-VIII in Mattheum Aniano interprete (PG 58, 975-1058) SJ

Two of these transcriptions were done in 2010 by the editor (CN). Four were done in 2011 with funding from a WLU Short-Term Research Grant by two undergraduate student research assistants, Carlisle Mackie (CM) and Jordan Burrows (JB), and one was done in 2012 with funding from a WLU Initiatory Research Grant by an MA student, Samantha James (SJ).

It is hoped that additional transcriptions will be added to this website in the future as funding becomes available. For details, see the Project Agenda.
