I’m interested in Ludwig Ott’s “Foundations of Dogmatic Theology”, but can’t afford a copy just now. Does anyone know of a good online reference which might also present a full list of the dogmas of the Church as Ott does? Perhaps an older title that’s in the public domain? Thank you.
 
Old editions of Otts fundamentals, which I’m told are out of copyright, are available in pdf format on-line, which are correct up until about the mid 1950s if that’s of any use.
 
Thanks for that reply. I don’t think Ott’s in the public domain yet. I believe the applicable terms of copyright protection would be 1) date of death (1985) plus 70 years for German editions, and 2) date of publication plus 95 years for English translations published in the US.

Denzinger’s Enchiridion Symbolorum has recently come out in a new edition, updated until the Papacy of Benedict XVI. I recently ordered it by post, and it’s very good! It’s available from Ignatius Press.

Thanks for that link. However, archive.org allows users to upload material which is still under copyright. In this case, it’s a scan of a reprint of the 1954 edition. The reprint itself was probably licensed. The scan is not.

I don’t want to make a big deal of this, but to my mind the 7th commandment is involved if I violate applicable copyright laws. As far as I can tell, Ott remains under copyright.

Denzinger sounds interesting, and is shorter than I had previously imagined. However, my Latin is not nearly so good that I could avail myself of the public-domain edition at Google Books. Lack of coin was the reason for the initial query, so I won’t be buying the bilingual Ignatius edition.

In the meantime, I’ll get by with books already on hand – or will give interlibrary loan a try.

Thanks again to all.

That is a self made list that mistakes some theological explanations with dogmas. I would encourage you to refer to proper references.

As people said the Otto’s book and the Detzinger’s book are good starters, a list of books on systematic theology can be found through the web sites of seminaries. Links to someone personal webpage with no nihil obstat and no imprimatur is naive at best. Just go through each one of them and you will see that some are theological understanding in the Latin Church based on the Thomistic approach but not dogmas in themselves.
