ANALECTA ORDINIS PRAEDICATO-RUM. - A periodical begun in 1893 at the behest of the Master General Andrea Frühwirth. Its purpose is to publish, for the benefit of scholars and above all to the glory of the Dominican Order and as an example and encouragement to its members, the abundant archival material gathered and preserved, at least in part, from the vicissitudes of time.
The contents of each issue are divided into several sections: Decrees and Acts of the Holy See concerning the Dominican Order in its various branches; Bulls of the Popes and decrees of the Sacred Congregations issued in the past and partly unpublished; monographs on the history of individual convents and provinces; studies and monographs on prominent members known for their holiness and learning.
The first series consists of 6 volumes in-4° covering the years 1893 to 1904; the second series, begun in 1905, in a smaller format, continues equally the fine tradition of its beginnings.
