The "Sources Chrétiennes" series provides critical editions of texts from the first 1400 years of the Church, accompanied by a French translation as well as an introduction and notes. The series consists of editions-with-translations of Christian texts in Greek, Latin, Syriac, Armenian and Georgian.
Reserving the introduction, apparatus and notes for the printed series, the online database makes it possible to select texts along various criteria and to perform targeted searches both on the source texts and on the French translations that over the years have been published in the series. At present, 501 of the more than 600 printed volumes are available online.
