Texts in the CR are written in either Latin, French or German.
A collection of sixteenth century Catholic writings, intended as a counterpart to the Corpus Reformatorum, was begun by Professor Joseph Greving of the University of Bonn in 1915. It was announced that same year in the as a "Plan für ein Corpus Catholicorum" or "Plan for a Corpus Catholicorum"

History
