Bardenhewer, Otto. Patrology: the Lives and Works of the Fathers of the Church. Trans. from the 2nd. ed. by Thomas J. Shahan. St. Louis, Herder, 1908. xvii, 680 p. LC 12-35566.

Now quite out of date in its bibliographies but still an important work for its concise and critical biographies and the detailed information given on spurious and apocryphal works. In its day it was praised by "eminent patristic scholars, both for its accurate treatment of its subject and for the fullness of its bibliographies" (America, II [November 27, 1904] , p. 182).
