Wroot Press

An independent imprint.

Wroot Press publishes primary-source editions and original works in patristic, Reformation, Wesleyan, and French Catholic studies — print titles distributed through Amazon and free digital reading editions, gathered here into three shelves.

Most read

The books readers reach for first: Ambrose on the great psalm, and the Books of Homilies in their first clean modern critical edition.

Fontes Patrum

The Fathers and the medieval masters, in Latin, Greek and English.

  • Migne

    Migne's Patrologia Latina and Graeca, rendered into English and made citable by volume and column — every work a page from day one, Latin and Greek alongside, translation lighting up the map one first-ever English rendering at a time.

  • Acta Sanctorum

    The flagship — a digital reading edition of the Bollandist Acta Sanctorum: Latin text, English translation, and apparatus, organised by feast day.

  • Sententiae

    Peter Lombard's Sentences laid out like a Talmud page — the distinctio in the center, the commentary tradition (c. 1225–1615) around it, every witness dated, sourced, and threaded to the ones it cites, contests, transmits, or parallels.

Scripture & Its Readers

The Bible, its ancient witnesses, and the ways it has been read.

  • The Wroot Press Bible

    A fresh English Bible translation under written rules, published a chapter at a time.

  • Catena

    Intertextual reading editions tracing how scripture quotes scripture — every quotation, allusion, and echo a book reaches back to, marked, sourced, and weighed. Seeded with Hebrews.

  • Bereshit / In Principio

    Genesis 1:1–5, read as ten cruxes across three benches — the Latin, the rabbinic, and the Greek-Jewish traditions — with every witness dated, sourced, and threaded to the ones it cites, echoes, contests, or answers.

Reformation & Methodism

The Protestant and Wesleyan tradition, from Arminius to the Wesleys.

  • The Bible with Wesley's Notes

    The King James Bible alongside John Wesley's Explanatory Notes Upon the Old and New Testament, side by side — free to read, cover to cover.

  • A Christian Library

    Wesley's own 1749–55 devotional anthology, restored to its original fifty-volume shape — the Apostolic Fathers, Arndt, Foxe, and on. Published one volume at a time; also a free digital reading edition.

  • Arminius — The Public Disputations

    A free edition of Jacob Arminius's Leiden public disputations: the Latin (or, where the Latin is lost, the Dutch) beside a first English translation. Working draft.
