Researchers and readers of early Christian texts
Worth noticing

Field notes

Readers can browse the collection by volume and open a reading view with as many as three panes for scan, text and translation. The page says 365 of 382 volumes—about 258,000 pages—are scanned and indexed by page and Migne column, with machine-read text marked unverified; verified Latin, Greek and English are being added volume by volume. It lists completed volumes and says translations are CC BY 4.0; the reported error rate is a project measurement, not independently established here.
