BENEDICTINE HISTORICAL REVIEW. - Italian Benedictine historical periodical, first quarterly, then (from 1912) bimonthly, founded in 1906 by an editorial board composed of one member from each monastic Congregation (Cassinese, Subiaco, Cistercian, Camaldolese, Vallombrosan, Olivetan, Silvestrine, Virginian, Mechitarist), under the direction of Abbot Placido Lugano.

Seventeen volumes (69 fascicles) were published up to 1926, with the sole interruption of 1916-20 because of the First World War. The periodical contained, with special regard to the history of Italy, in the "Memorie," historical studies of the monastic Order in its various religious, literary and artistic manifestations, past and present; in the "Varietà," hagiographic, literary and biographical documents; in the "Letteratura" and "Cronaca dell'Ordine," exact and complete reports of contemporary life and events. Among the contributors, besides the director Lugano, one notes Cardinals M. Rampolla del Tindaro, A. Gasquet and I. Schuster; A. Amelli, Br. Albers, E. Caronti, P. Ciampelli, A. Ettinger, G. F. Gamurrini, etc. It has now (1952) resumed publication.
