RIVISTA STORICO - CRITICA DELLE SCIENZE TEOLOGICHE. - A monthly periodical, founded in 1905 by Fr. G. BONACCORSI, PIERINO (v.) and subsequently directed by E. BUON, FAMIGLIA (v.).
Divided into six sections: historical theology, biblical history and literature, Christian history and literature, Oriental history and literature, hagiography and liturgy, archaeology and art; furnished with ecclesiastical approval, its contributors included U. Mannucci, U. Fracassini, F. Lanzoni, G. Zattoni, Fr. P. de Meester, F. Mari, and Fr. S. Scaglia.
After the encyclical Pascendi was issued (8 Sept. 1907), the journal gave it a general assent (cf. the journal itself, 3 [1907], p. 719); but in vol. 6 (1910) E. Buonaiuti began open skirmishes against it (pp. 171, 235). The periodical, not conforming to the directives of the anti-Modernist campaign, was condemned by decree of the Holy Office of 10 Sept. 1910 and immediately ceased publication.
