The Christian Classics Ethereal Library (CCEL) seeks to build up the church by making classic Christian literature widely available and promoting its use for edification and study by interested Christians, seekers and scholars. The CCEL will accomplish this by selecting, collecting, distributing, and promoting valuable literature through the World Wide Web and other media.

"The purpose of this Web site is to provide an electronically searchable edition of a text known as the Manipulus florum ("Handful of flowers"), a major collection of authoritative Latin sources compiled at Paris by Thomas de Hibernia at the beginning of the 14th century (c. 1306)."

"The Thesarus Precum Latinarum is a collection of Latin prayers and Latin hymns with English translations and brief commentaries. The commentaries outline the origins, history and use of many of the items with the prayers themselves being drawn from the entire 2,000 year history of the Church."
