Update Sources Chrétiennes Online

The Sources Chrétiennes Online (SCO) database was updated. It now provides source texts and French translations from 456 of the 625 printed volumes. Some notable additions are Origen’s Contra Celsum, the Rule of St Benedict, and William of St-Thierry’s Mirror of Faith.

By 2025, the SCO database will cover all volumes by then published in print in the long-running Sources Chrétiennes edition project. In this latest update, historical authors have also been provided with links to external authority files (to be expanded), and it has become possible to click on to the corresponding headwords in the Database of Latin Dictionaries through the short definitions for Latin words in the Instrumenta pop-up.

Exciting update on Sources Chrétiennes Online

We are glad to let you know that the database Sources Chrétiennes Online has been updated with a new tool called ‘Instrumenta‘. Instrumenta provides you with suggestions of translation and morphological analysis in a pop-up, for the Latin words encountered in the texts of the database. The tool is now in a first version, but will be expanded and improved in the next quarterly updates.
