Started in 1991 as the Cetedoc Library of Christian Latin Texts (CLCLT), it continues to be developed by the Centre ‘Traditio Litterarum Occidentalium’ and is hosted by Brepols Publishers.
This digital database, initially released as a CD-ROM, was produced by the Cetedoc, led by prof. Paul Tombeur at the Université catholique de Louvain.
Since 2001, the activities of Cetedoc have been continued in Turnhout, Belgium by the Centre ‘Traditio Litterarum Occidentalium’ (CTLO), still led by Paul Tombeur.
In 2002, it was decided to expand the database's chronological scope beyond medieval and patristic times, its name was changed to Library of Latin Texts.
This work includes verifying facts related to the text and correcting errors in the printed edition.
