Bibliotheca Basiliana Universalis (CCBBU) Editorial responsibility: The series subtitle is 'Manuscript Tradition, Translations and Editions of the Works of Basil of Caesarea'. The aim of this series is to put in the hands of any genuinely interested reader as much primary information as possible.  Rather than withholding from the readers the information on which scholarly conclusions are based and giving them only the results of the research, the BBV has been conceived as a tool for judging the accuracy of the premises on which the investigation rests. A further goal of the BBV is to preserve for posterity many of the works considered inferior, and closely related to this objective is the commitment to salvage for history MSS and books destined to perish long before their time.   Hagiographies (CCHAG) Editorial responsibility: G. Philippart Hagiographies is an international history of Latin and vernacular hagiographical literature in the West from its origins to 1550, published in four volumes by some 60 specialists from around the world, and is intended to serve as material for a general typology and for a comparitive literary history of the hagiographical writings.   Lingua Patrum (CCLP) Editorial responsibility:   A series of monographs on linguistic and stylistic phenomena in the writings of early Christian and medieval authors.
