CARMELITANES. – Periodical of the Discalced Carmelite Fathers of France. Founded quarterly in February 1911 by Fr. Marie-Joseph du Sacré-Cœur, who directed it until the end of 1930. The aim of the journal during this period is defined by the subtitle: E. C. historietes et critiques sur les traditions, les privilèges et la mystique de l'Ordre.
Suspended from 1915 to 1919 due to the war. In 1931 (volume 164), the direction was entrusted to Fr. Bruno de Jésus-Marie of the Paris province. The subtitle was changed to E. C. mystiques et missionnaires, and the periodicity became semiannual. From 1935, each issue was dedicated to the study of a particular theme or problem of a psychological-religious nature. Suspended again in 1940, publication resumed in 1946 (volume 254) with one or two issues per year and without any subtitle. From 1947, the journal was accompanied by a monographic series of the same title and without a fixed periodicity. From 1936, E. C. regularly devoted one issue each year to the publication of studies from the “Giornate internazionali di psicologia religiosa,” which it organized in Avon.
