Migne's Patrologiae Cursus Completus - Latin & Greek

[Moerus]

A bit off topic, but does anyone know if the ‘lexicon auxiliare’ from Christian Helfer is to find somewhere on the net (in pdf or Djvu or something like that?)??? I’ve been searching a while now but well without any results

Thnx in advance,

Moerus

P.S.: I already checkes google, but I cannot download it from there …

@Tertius Robertus

in case someone not from the u.s. is unable to open google books, or to download thence, the patrologiae can be found, in pdf format, divided into several books here. it is to be noticed however that tis not completed yet: tis a work still in progress. (most of the latin is avaible, and on august they will post 20 more books, but there is no greek yet)

cheers!

EDIT: the url has changed: http://www.documentacatholicaomnia.eu/25_Migne.html

The sheer quantity of text and effort put into that website is astounding…

If your enrolled in a university, you can borrow whichever volume of Migne
you are interested in through the Interlibrary Loan. What university
do you attend? I’ve borrowed numerous volumes before.. but only
the volumes with rare works (late antiquity/early medieval) as most
of the other stuff is readily available in better editions today.

If you’re planning to scan some of them, I would skip works
like Tertullian and Augustine, as they have been published to
exhaustion… Many works Migne have never been republished
in newer editions.. believe it or not.. At least two volumes I know
are available online already… those some Canadian website.

Diocletian: I registered on this site specifically to be able to write and thank you multiple times for posting the list of PG contents!

I edit biblical interpretation scholarship. Am now working through the proofs of A HISTORY OF BIBLICAL INTERPRETATION vol. 2 (2008; Grand Rapids: Eerdmans; vol. 1 2003), and there are some maddening lacunae among the lists of ancient writers. Your list has made my work SOo-o-o much easier! Now I can check spellings of names, and PG volume numbers for the works our authors have referenced in their articles and bibliographies.

Diocletian, YOU ARE MY HERO!
