AN ECLECTIC LIBRARY.—Christian History.

A Library of Fathers

of the Holy Catholic Church, Anterior to the Division of the East and West.

In publication order | In alphabetical order

This list comes from Roger Pearse, who compiled it in 2003 after discovering that not all these works had been reprinted in the Ante-Nicene Fathers and Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers series. The Library of Fathers editions also contain many notes that were not reprinted in the later series. Since the volumes were not numbered on the title pages, the volume numbering may not be entirely correct. “Note that vols. 40, 41, and 42 in this list are numbered 42, 40 and 41 in Dr. Williams Library,” says Roger Pearse. “In this case, the volume number has been written in pencil inside, and it seems quite possible that this is the correct numbering.” The Pennsylvania State Library, however, has the numbering here.

To Dr. Pearse’s list, we have added links to all the volumes in the Internet Archive or Google Books.
