Guide to Clavis Patrum Latinorum
Contents of E. Dekkers, Clavis Patrum Latinorum, 3rd edition (Brepols, 1995), pp. 1-269.
Published in the Corpus Christianorum series.
This list covers only the first two sections of CPL which lists the authors up to the Council of Chalcedon (AD 451). It does not add poets, grammarians, lives of saints, etc. as listed separately in CPL. The CPL item numbers of the genuine works are given first; any doubtful or spurious works are listed in the third column.
Bishops are normally listed with the name of their see (e.g. Augustine of Hippo). Wherever possible other geographical indicators are given to identify the principal area where the writer lived and worked. Since early Christians were very mobile, however, these indicators are not complete. The time indicators are generally those given by Dekkers.
