"From its inception in 1942, the 'Sources Chrétiennes' series ... has provided critical editions of texts from the first 1,400 years of the Church, accompanied by a French translation as well as an introduction and notes. More precisely, the series consists of editions-with-translations of Christian texts in Greek and Latin, but also in oriental languages, such as Syriac, Armenian and Georgian. Whereas it has always been the series' mission to make the texts at hand easily accessible for consultation and (linguistic, historical, philosophical and theological) study, 'Sources Chrétiennes online' even expands the possibilities in this regard. 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 have been and are published in the series."
