Répertoire des traductions françaises des Pères de l'Église (2024)

The Répertoire des traductions françaises des Pères de l’Église (RTF) is an indispensable tool for iden>tifying and finding the translations of the works of Church Fathers. The about 12,000 index cards dedicated to the French translations of Latin, Greek and Eastern Fathers are the work of Father Jacques Marcotte of Saint-Wandrille Abbey.

The RTF is a unique source of information for the religious literature of Antiquity and the beginning of the Middle Ages. Although some scholarly editions list the French translations (and those in other languages as well), none of them take into account the partial translations. The database offers for the first time a method>ical census. Because of its scale, the RTF has no equivalent either in the French-speaking world or in any other linguistic region
