24 February 2024 marked the 160th anniversary of the establishment of the Corpus Scriptorum Ecclesiasticorum Latinorum by the Vienna Academy of Sciences in 1864. The CSEL was founded in order to provide the Thesaurus linguae Latinae with scholarly sound and critically corrected editions of Latin Christian authors. Since then, more than 100 volumes (as well as numerous volumes Extra Seriem) have been published, since the 150th year (2014) by De Gruyter.
The Corpus Scriptorum Ecclesiasticorum Latinorum (CSEL) is an academic series that publishes critical editions of Latin works by late-antique Christian authors from the time of the late 2nd century until the beginning of the 8th century. The editions are prepared in cooperation with internationally renowned experts according to modern editorial techniques and are meant to serve as textual basis for scholarly disciplines dealing with Late Antiquity. The volumes are published by the scientific institution "CSEL", which was founded in 1864 by the Austrian Academy of Sciences in Vienna and which is part of the University of Salzburg since 2012. In addition, monographs on topics related to the Latin patristic period and conference proceedings are published at irregular intervals (Extra Seriem).
