Enchiridion symbolorum: Handbook of Creeds, Definitions and Declarations on Faith and Morals
This book is in Latin.
Heinrich Denzinger's handbook of the Church's creeds, conciliar definitions, papal and curial doctrinal acts and condemned propositions, from the early creeds to Pius X, in the numbering of the eleventh edition (Clemens Bannwart, Freiburg 1911) that the literature cites as D. Each paragraph carries its D number. Latin only; the entries are in Denzinger's order, in chapters of about forty numbers.
Contents
Source: Determines the selection, the D numbers and the section headings. The OCR was read by box geometry (main-text lines against the small print of footnotes and apparatus, margin numbers against the text block) and the longest monotone run of D numbers was taken: it confirms 1,814 of the 2,147 numbers. The Greek columns, the apparatus of sources and the footnotes of the edition are not reproduced. · The clean Latin text of each entry, matched to the 1911 D number by that number and confirmed against the OCR by word overlap (where the two disagree the catho text is taken, since the OCR has li/ll, Greek-column and apparatus damage). The catho text follows the later (Schönmetzer) recension: it keeps a few editorial parentheses, ellipses and source marks such as '(c. 7, n. 1)' and the headings it adds are not reproduced. Entries whose D number the OCR could not confirm (275) are included from catho alone; entries with no catho counterpart and a readable OCR (132) come from the OCR (OCR slips remain). D 1–47 (the early creeds with their variant apparatus) and a few dozen ambiguous numbers are not included.
