Corpus Christianorum

The Corpus Christianorum, abbreviated as CC, is a published by Belgian publisher Brepols Publishers in Turnhout book series, which aims to make accessible the Greek and Latin works of the Christian ecclesiastical writers of the patristic period and the Middle Ages in critical editions of texts.

The Corpus Christianorum goes back to 1947 by Eligius Dekkers started together with Brepols projects that replace predominantly on reprints based Patrologia Latina by Jacques Paul Migne by a critical edition work on the state of research in the 20th century. The original plan included only the Latin works from the time of Tertullian to the Venerable Bede. The project was prepared by the founding of the journal Sacris Erudiri (1948) and by the publication of Dekkers ' Clavis Patrum Latinorum (CPL, 1951), 1953, published the first text output. The Corpus Christianorum has since been greatly expanded in scope and is divided today into the following sub-series:
