MONUMENTA ORDINIS FRATRUM PRAEDICATORUM HISTORICA
A series of critical editions of sources for the history of the Order known as the Dominicans, begun during the generalship of Fr. Andrea Frühwirth.
The collection opens with the *Vitae fratrum* of Gerard of Frachet, published by Fr. Benedetto M. Reichert (Louvain-Rome 1866). The same scholar edited the *Acta capitulorum generalium* from 1220 to 1844 (vols. III, IV, VII-XIV; Rome-Stuttgart 1898-1904), the *Litterae encyclicae* of the Masters General (vol. V, Rome-Stuttgart-Vienna 1900), and the *Chronica Ordinis* of Fra Galvagni de la Flamma, of which only fascicle I appeared (vol. II, Rome-Stuttgart 1897). Only two fascicles of vol. VI were published, containing documents relating to the life and work of St. Raymond of Peñafort (ibid. 1898-1901).
From 1933 onward, other volumes have appeared in the same series, edited by the Dominican Historical Institute of St. Sabina in Rome, founded by Fr. Gillet: a series of *Monumenta historica s. patris nostri Dominici* (vol. XV, Paris 1933; vol. XVI, Rome 1935), the *Registrum litterarum* of Tommaso de Vio (Cajetan), that of Raymond of Capua and of other Masters and General Procurators, the *Acta capitulorum provincialium* of the Roman Province from 1243 to 1344, the catalogues of L. Pignon, of Stams and Uppsala, the *De quatuor* of Stephen of Salagnac and Bernard Gui, and the *Epistulae* of Bl. Jordan of Saxony. The last-named (Rome 1951) form vol. XXIII. The editions were prepared by Frs. M. H. Laurent, H. Ch. Scheeben, A. Walz, A. de Meyer, Th. Käppeli, G. Meersseman, and D. Planzer.
