Writings

English translations (older public-domain ones, and a few modern ones shared under open licences), divided into chapters and short sections, with a download for each. A modern English version and the original-language text are planned for the works that matter most.

Original-language texts

The Latin and Greek texts as edited and digitised by the Open Greek and Latin project (CC BY-SA 4.0): one column, with the standard references, and plain-text and TEI XML downloads for scholars. They have been corrected from print by machine and may still contain errors.

Most translations are the older ones in the public domain (mostly the nineteenth-century Ante-Nicene, Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers); a few are modern translations shared under an open licence, with the translators credited on the work’s page. Square brackets and any Greek or Latin words are as the source prints them.

Everything we make is available for free because of a generous community of supporters.
