Below is a list of links to the Patrologia Orientalis, a series designed to complement Migne’s 19th century Patrologia Latina and Patrologia Graeca. Volume One was published in 1904. According to Wikipedia, the publication of the series is ongoing.
Chers,
J’ai besoin de tome 29.
I need volume 29.
b.
Moi aussi. 🙁
I am excited by what you are doing. Like “Bosko” I need a particular volume of PATROLOGIA ORIENTALIS– #26– which I think contains the Liturgy of St. James (perhaps in Aramaic.) Please continue to round out the complete set of …ORIENTALIS. I DO realize that you will not be able to please all followers to this site, including me. I shall adopt the stratagem of WAITING as all the rest of us have to do.
I’m not creating scans; just indexing those online.
Now I understand: thanks for the service you provide. I do hope someone scans PO 26– as well as all the other tomes thereunto!
I too hope someone scans #26.
I am trying to track down the missing volumes of PO and scan them, starting with vol 20. I just did an interlibrary loan request for it. According to WorldCat, all existing library holdings for vol 20 are in France! I live in the USA, so it might be difficult for me to obtain a copy to scan. I will update here whatever I do manage to get ahold of.
That would be wonderful!
Volumes 20 and 25 (together with perhaps an independent version of the other of volumes 1-19 and 21-24) may be found here: https://www.documentacatholicaomnia.eu/25_90_1904-1984-_Graffin-Nau.html
I too would love to see volume 26, if it can be legally posted.
The Internet Archive has been uploading a number of volumes of the Patrologia Orientalis, among a ton of other interesting material provided by the library of the Claremont School of Theology. For example:
Tome 24:

Tome 28:

Tome 29:

Most can only be borrowed (not downloaded), but that’s better than nothing. I’m adding them to the Links Galore spreadsheet:

It will take some time to complete all the bibliographical details. I’m not sure I’ve caught all of them because the IA’s cataloguing process is a bit erratic, and also because new items are being added every day, but with any luck there may be a full set (up to the nineties at least) in the near future.
The collection was announced by the IA here:

Very much better than nothing – thank you!
I have uploaded all the missing volumes: 20, 24 and 26-49. Here it is the link to my Internet Archive profile, so you can download them and add them here. I will edit the title and write all the numbers of the volumes that this collection contains, so don t get fooled by the fact that there are only 7 volumes in this title

Hi David, that is great! I’m not sure whether Internet Archive will allow that material to remain there, but it is great to have it. If it does stay, I’ll have to update the list.
You can send me your email, so I can send you the collection through wetransfer. It will be safer this way and you can also keep the files for yourself.
For some reason, the Blake and Brière edition of the Old Georgian Gospel of Mark was not included in the scan of PO vol 20. I have a copy in djvu format. Should anyone need it, please contact me
