MONUMENTS OF THE ORDER OF THE SERVANTS OF SAINT MARY. — A publication whose purpose is to reproduce and disseminate the principal historical documents, preferably the oldest, concerning the Order of the Servants of Mary.
{It was begun in Belgium (Brussels) in 1897 by Fr. Agostino M. Morini and Fr. Pellegrino M. Soulier of the same Order, who edited it until 1908. According to the editors' plan, at least one volume (over 200 pages, large quarto) was to appear each year; in fact, however, only twenty volumes have been published to date, plus three supplements to vols. XI, XIII, and XX. The last volume bears the date 1930; in subsequent years, due to the publication of the periodical Studi storici sull'Ordine dei Servi di Maria (from the year 1933, the seventh centenary of the Order), and later because of the difficulties caused by the war and its aftermath, the publication was effectively suspended.
From 1908 onward, Fr. G. Vangeli, Fr. L. Raffaelli, and Fr. G. Zink joined Fr. Soulier in editing the series; in 1926, after the death of Fr. Soulier, the editorship passed to Fr. Raffaele M. Taucci. Alessio M. Rossi}
