Migne Patrologia — englished works (Latin/Greek ↔ English)
163 works from Migne's Patrologia (156 Latin, 7 Greek) with the shop's English translation (~3.18M words) beside the public-domain source text, one JSON record per work.
Canonical home: https://migne.app (each record carries its canonical URL). This dataset is a machine-generated export of that site's build, regenerated from the source of truth and never hand-edited; the site remains the one published address of the text.
Licence
CC BY-NC 4.0 on the English translation, apparatus and encoding; source text public domain and unclaimed. Machine-learning training, fine-tuning, evaluation and retrieval — including commercial model development — are explicitly permitted under those terms: keep the attribution and say if you changed the text. Full terms: https://migne.app/rights
Credits
Greek text: CGPG (CC BY 4.0). Latin: Corpus Corporum TEI transcription (no licence statement in its headers). 49 older PL works have English but no Latin on disk yet.
How the English was made
English text was drafted with LLM assistance and checked against the source; the verification procedure and what has and has not been checked are described on the site's rights / about pages. Treat it as a careful working translation, not a critical edition.
