Sources Chrétiennes
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sources Chrétiennes (French "Christian sources") is a bilingual collection of patristic texts founded in Lyon in 1943 by the Jesuits Jean Daniélou, Claude Mondésert, and Henri de Lubac.
The current director of the Institut des Sources Chrétiennes is Bernard Meunier.
The institute has published over 500 works by Greek, Latin and occasionally Syriac authors have been published. Other oriental Christian (e.g. Armenian) writers have been published only in translation. An early decision was made not to exclude subsequently condemned authors (such as Origen). Clement of Alexandria, John Chrysostom, and the Cappadocians (Basil of Caesarea and Gregory of Nazianzus especially) are strongly represented, but a section is also devoted to Western spiritual writers such as Bernard of Clairvaux.
A parallel collection devoted to the works of Philo of Alexandria has developed as well.
