Patristicum

The Patristicum, officially the Augustinian Patristic Pontifical Institute (Latin: Pontificium Institutum Patristicum Augustinianum), is a pontifical institute in Rome, under the supervision of the Order of Saint Augustine.

The Patristicum is considered a direct continuation of the fourteenth-century Studium Generale in Rome which belonged to the Augustinian order, later alongside the Biblioteca Angelica.

[2] In November 1989, the institute was formally established under the Congregation for Catholic Education.

It publishes two issues per year containing original research and reviews related to the study of ancient Christian literature and the Fathers of the Church.

In 2010, the Institute announced plans to make the journal available electronically, and all issues are now available online.
