1.1 Latin
1.1.1 Clavis Patrum Latinorum (CPL) // Library of Latin Texts
We have put quite some effort into aligning Clavis Clavium with the Library of Latin Texts, so that for each Patristic text in the LLT there can be a direct link with Clavis Clavium and vice versa. This will be extra useful once the new interface of the LLT will be launched in the course of 2025.
This alignment proved particularly difficult for the translations made by authors like Jerome and Rufinus. These translations are not listed in the CPL, and, as a result, lack a CPL number. After some reorganization you should now have easy access to essential information about a considerable number of these translations. Open the entries on Hieronymus presbyter or Rufinus presbyter and explore... This is still a work in progress.
1.1.2 Clavis Patristica Pseudepigraphorum Medii Aevi (CPPM), vol. IIa, IIb & IIIa
Machielsen’s Clavis Patristica Pseudepigraphorum Medii Aevi, or CPPM in short (see https://www.corpuschristianorum.org/cppm), is an invaluable source of information for the study of “Patristic and medieval forgeries, attributed during the middle ages to a Latin father, who it not its (their) real author; important medieval alterations of genuine patristic writings; the numerous erroneous attributions (intended or not) of patristic and medieval Latin texts, to a Latin father who is not its (their) real author”, as worded by Machielsen himself.
Unfortunately, due to the way it is structured, the CPPM frequently has to repeat the same text in different parts of the book, i.e. under each author a particular text is attributed to. As a result, it is sometimes hard to gather all the information available about a certain text and to link it to information in other claves, especially the Clavis Patrum Latinorum.
After the full integration of volumes Ia and Ib into the Clavis Clavium, we are integrating the remaining volumes. However, rather than a systematic approach we have opted for a case by case approach. This means that when we have to work on a particular text and also a CPPM number is associated with it, the information of the CPPM is integrated at the same time.
In other words, if you open a work entry and the CPPM is mentioned as a mere reference work, that means the information has not yet been integrated into Clavis Clavium. If, however, the CPPM number is mentioned next to the title, where the other claves numbers are mentioned, then the information presented by the CPPM has been integrated.
1.1.3 Bibliotheca Hagiographica Latina (BHL)

1.2.3 Théologie Byzantine
In C.G. Conticello (ed.), La théologie byzantine, I/1 (Corpus Christianorum), Turnhout, 2015, p. 132-148 Johannes Koder presented a clavis to all hymns by Romanus Melodus, specifying refrain and liturgical calendar, edition, textual tradition, “Textgestaltung” and authorship. This clavis is now fully integrated into Clavis Clavium. This also means that each hymn now has a separate CPG number, viz. CPG 7570.1-90.
