Initia Patrologiae Latinae in alphabetico ordine disposita, utilissima ad investigandum principia scriptorum ecclesiasticorum.

This volume collects the introductory statements of Latin Patrology, organized to aid quick reference even without the full edition. It also documents beginnings from Graeca texts translated into Latin, and includes items from Nova Patrum Bibliotheca and later corpora post-Migne editionem, making it a comprehensive guide for scholars of medieval and patristic literature.

The work frames its method clearly: it selects initial words, proper names, and the opening phrases of major texts, while offering a practical index to navigate across authors and works. It explains how to read the arrangement, how titles and names appear, and how the volume interfaces with other editions. The editor describes rules for transcribing beginnings, handling devotionals, canon law, liturgical writings, carmina, and other groups of writings.
