Rod Letchford has written to say that he has compiled a list of links to all the volumes of the Patrologia Latina available online. It’s here:
http://cyprianproject.info/PL.htm
Apparently they all work from where he is, in Australia.

GCS electronic texts for free download
Stephen C. Carlson kindly points out here that some of the GCS Greek texts have been transcribed and are available for free download here. I’ve translated the German:
Starting with vol. 7 NF (= Daniel-Kommentar des Hippolyt) a selection of reading texts from the editions in the GCS series is available for free download.
Release of the material is generally carried out at the same time as the release of the volume. Some other types of documents are also here, which are otherwise not available and complement our selection.
To read the file (PDF format) on your screen or print them, you need “Acrobat Reader” which can be found on the Internet free of charge.
Suggestions would be gratefully received.
Anonyme Kirchengeschichte (Gelasius Cyzicenus) = 1,1 MB (PDF)
Daniel-Kommentar Hippolyts = 501 KB (PDF)
Handschriften-Register zu Albert Ehrhard = 768 KB (PDF)
Martyrium Clementis = 1,35 MB (PDF)
Miraculum Clementis – Codex Parisinus graecus 1510 (D) = 44 KB (PDF)
This is truly excellent news, and the GCS are to be commended very highly indeed. Nor is this all; for there is more about the Hippolytus material here.
For an online presentation of the GCS the Daniel commentary of Hippolytus (GCS NF 7) was chosen and partly indexed.
The data processing of the Greek text and the translation from the Church Slavonic, each with their own apparatus, has been conducted by Arnd Rattmann (GCS). He was also responsible for decyphering the difficult manuscript originals of Marcel Richard († 1976), which led to the new edition of the text of Bonwetsch.
We would like to thank the publisher Walter de Gruyter for permission to place the works fully on the Internet. We should point out that the book may be ordered from the publisher. This contains the detailed indexes and other valuable information for usage of the text.
We should emphasize that we are dealing in this project of the month with a trial. We are grateful for suggestions and comments and positive feedback.
We should definitely give them feedback and encouragement! But … anyone got any ideas how?
UPDATE: I’ve found some email addresses here. The transcriber, Arnd Rattmann, is one of them. There’s a whole section for the GCS. I have buzzed an email at three people.
Hippolytus “Commentary on Daniel”
Tom Schmidt writes to say that he has started a translation of the Commentary on Daniel by Hippolytus, which he mentions here.
Fragments of the work appear in the ANF collection, but a nearly complete Old Slavonic version exists (used by the Sources Chretiennes) and likewise a Greek version, which was published by GCS. So this will be the first complete English translation.
List of CSEL volumes at Google Books
Fr. Stefan Zara’s site used to contain a list of the volumes of the CSEL in Google Books. Unfortunately it has just been shut down. It was hosted by WordPress who understandably took exception to some of the material that he was sharing. I think that some was copyright in the US if not in his native Romania. I thought I would add his banner at the left here, so we can remember it.
However I found a cached version of this useful list from 8 October 2009 in Google cache. To preserve this useful item, I have edited it down and post it here. Please add further links in the comments, if you come across them. I don’t maintain collections of links, you see, as I have so much else to do.
Corpus Scriptorum Ecclesiasticorum Latinorum
The Corpus Scriptorum Ecclesiasticorum Latinorum (CSEL) is a series of critical editions of the Latin Church Fathers published by a committee of the Austrian Academy of Sciences.
The CSEL is intended to include the ecclesiastical authors who wrote in Latin from the late 2nd century AD until the death of Bede in 735. The texts are edited on the basis of all extant manuscripts and according to the principles of modern textual criticism and thus aim to provide a critical replacement for the corresponding volumes of the Patrologia Latina.

UPDATE: Bob Buller very kindly sent me a bunch of extra links to fill the gaps on this, and I have added them in. Thank you!
UPDATE: A correspondent is sending me some corrections, which I am merging in.
UPDATE: More links here.
UPDATE: Thanks to Ted Janiszewski for some more!
Patrologia Graeca online
I often find that these links get out of date pretty rapidly, so here is the latest one I have come across. The Ancient World Online links to the complete Patrologia Graeca in a pretty user-friendly downloadable pdf format. From the Library of Ruslan Khazarzar.
The PDF’s are not just images, but text.
NOTE: My collection of PDF’s of page images is here.
A bunch of manuscripts online from the Syrian Orthodox Monastery of St. Mark in Jerusalem
All done by Brigham Young University, and are here. At the moment I think there is a problem with some of the links, but this will be fixed.
Most of the books are liturgical etc, but there is a Syriac New Testament, another containing Paul’s letters, a collection of Isaac of Scete and Cyriacus of Antioch, a couple of works by Barhebraeus including the “Chronicle of the ages”, and a Garshuni version of the world history of Michael the Syrian. Some unclassified “collections of religious works” might bear investigation.
Revue de l’Orient Chretien online; list of Syriac-related articles and links
There is a very useful list of links to the ROC, with details of the Syriac materials in them, here. The volumes are all at Archive.org in complete form, and the scanning was sponsored by Gorgias Press, who thereby deserve our gratitude. I thought the list could usefully appear here also:

A bunch of online Oriental books – Bibliothek Goussen
An email from Jesus de Prado draws my attention to a new bunch of online books, which we all need to take a look at:

Full coloured-image, quite high resolution reproductions with full bibliographical details.
Thank you! Well, I had to go and look. The list of titles is quite impressive.
The interface is a bit clunky, but there are PDF’s to be had, although it looks as if each section is a PDF (which is a bit silly, and a nuisance; please fix this, chaps). In some cases they have placed a PDF of the lot on the left-hand side.
Design is a little weird. They seem to imagine — as librarians do — that you would want to use the books over a slow internet connection on a slow site, rather than on your PC. The interface is the usual, fussy, self-centered thing that library sites so often are, designed to maximise their traffic rather than assist the reader. Come on chaps; Google books and Archive.org show how it should be done. Why reinvent the wheel?
But these are small points. On to the good stuff!
The Arabic list contains a considerable quantity of really old books, 17th century, of great value. These belong to the first wave of European interest in Arabic studies. The 1661 Eutychius, for instance, is there.
The Armenian list includes a catalogue of the Mechitarist daughter monastery in Vienna. Aucher’s edition of Eusebius Chronicle is there — a year or two back I paid a serious sum for a photocopy of just volume 1!
The Coptic list includes a catalogue of the Borgia mss in the Vatican.
The Syriac list includes six volumes of Bedjan’s Acta martyrum et sanctorum. The Urmiah catalogue is there, which I have only seen so far in a rather rubbishy photocopy PDF. Mind you, they don’t seem to have learned the trick of photographing with a piece of black paper behind each page, to stop bleed-through of the text on the reverse. You can download the whole Urmiah catalogue.
This is probably the first sign of useful material from a German source that I have seen. More please!
Cyril of Alexandria, Commentary on John, vol. 2 now on Archive.org
A customer for my CDROM of the Fathers wrote to ask if I had a PDF of vol. 2 of Cyril’s Commentary on John, since I had scanned it for my site. Luckily for him I had the chance to look, and found the images first shot.
I’ve now uploaded a searchable PDF of this volume to Archive.org. It’s here:

(Or will be in a few minutes)
This was the final volume in the Oxford Movement Library of the Fathers series of translations. The series began in 1838. By 1880 E.B.Pusey was dead, and the movement was history. Yet, somehow, this one last volume appeared, in 1885. It wasn’t published by Parker of Oxford, and it wasn’t edited by Pusey; but the title-page was uniform with it. The last few volumes were unnumbered.
By this time the Ante-Nicene Fathers series was 20 years old. Most collections of the Library of the Fathers were obsolete. Very few of them indeed ever acquired this last, final volume. I obtained this one through the courtesy of Glasgow University Library, who benevolently photocopied it and posted it to me. May their name be ever remembered; for I doubt any other copy of this very, very uncommon book, is ever likely to get scanned.
Volume 1 of the Commentary contained books 1-5. It was translated by Phillip E. Pusey, the crippled son of old Pusey, who predeceased his father. P.E.Pusey edited Cyril’s works, and his editions still have value. But as a translator he was useless, tending to transliterate the Greek. A vicious review, which I have never been able to locate, halted his efforts and he never proceeded further with Cyril on John. The otherwise unknown T. Randell did this volume, and made a nice job of it. It’s far easier to read than vol. 1! It covers books 6-12, although some of those books are lost and only catena fragments were available.
There’s quite a lot of Orthodox interest in this text. Let’s hope this helps make it more available.
Fragments of Eusebius in the Mingana collection
PDF’s are such a blessing. I’ve been looking at the PDF of volume 1 of the Mingana collection of Syriac manuscripts in Birmingham. How quickly we take these for granted! Once, just to consult such a volume, would have meant a day off work, a 60 mile journey, and being robbed blind for copies — if I was even allowed copied. That was the situation, only five years ago. Not now!
This will be a dull post, I fear. Because I ordered some photos of manuscripts in the collection, but no longer remember what was so precious in them! This post is my journey of discovery.
On p.599 of the PDF (col. 1197 of the book), there is listed the various snippets of Eusebius in various manuscripts. In July 2008 I went through these, and ordered the following from the Mingana:
Ms. Mingana Syr. 332 Folios 1-9a Eusebius Ms. Mingana Syr. 480 Folios 29a-31b Eusebius Ms. Mingana Syr. 589 Folios 1-6a Eusebius
Time to refresh my memory on these!
First I’m opening the Mingana catalogue in Adobe Acrobat and running an OCR on the file to create scannable text. I only wish Adobe used some decent OCR software. Come on chaps, talk to Abbyy!
OK. On p. 308 of the PDF (col. 616) we find ms. 332. On ff.6b-7a there are quotations on the genealogy of Jesus, from Ephraim, Eusebius of Caesarea, and Philoxenus. Wonder why I ordered as far as 9a.
On p. 432 of the PDF (col. 863) is ms. 480. Ff. 29a-31b consist of tables to show that there is no contradiction between the two genealogies of Jesus in Matthew and Luke. The first table is from Severus of Antioch; the others from Ephraim, Eusebius and Philoxenus. Not sure why I thought this stuff was worthwhile, now.
On p. 562 of the PDF (col. 1125) is ms. 589.
-
Ff.1b-3b = A short treatise on ecclesiastical chronology dealing with the lunar and solar months.
-
Ff. 4a-5a : Another short treatise on chronology by Eusebius of Caesarea (called Eusebius of Palestine).
-
Fol. 5 : The months in which the year begins in the calendar of the Jews, the Arabs, the Copts, the Syrians, the Greeks, the Romans, the Persians and the Armenians.
-
Ff. 5b-17b: A medical treatise on the composition of the human body, by Ahud’ immeh Antipater, who mayor may not be the same man as Ahud-‘immeh of Tegrit.
-
and so on.
Fascinating stuff… or not. This is what so manuscripts consist of, tho; pages of short, dubious-looking texts.
The upshot is that there is unlikely to be much here to impact on my Eusebius project. Wonder what the “short treatise on chronology is”? I might toss that over to my translator and ask.
