The Corpus Scriptorum Latinorum (CSL)

The Corpus Scriptorum Latinorum (CSL) is a collaborative project among scholars from a variety of disciplines with the main purpose of creating a digital library of Latin literature, spanning from the earliest epigraphic remains to the Neo-Latinists of the eighteenth century. Toward this end, we maintain an up-to-date catalogue of all Latin texts that are currently available online, making CSL a single, centralized resource for locating Latin literature on the internet.

PHI Classical Latin Texts

This website contains essentially all Latin literary texts written before A.D. 200, as well as some texts selected from later antiquity.
