TRADITIO. - An annual publication (with the subtitle Studies in ancient and medieval history, thought and religion), founded in 1943 by professors of the Catholic University of America to accommodate studies of some length, comparable to the “memoirs” of academies.
It deals with classical and Christian antiquity. The works published thus far concern biblical studies, patrology, liturgy, Byzantine studies and ecclesiastical history, economic, political, juridical, and canonical institutions, manuscripts, papyrology, archaeology, and palaeography. The fields with which it is concerned are not merely a collection of chronological data and historical facts, but represent an investigation into living forces, forms, and institutions that pervade history down to the present. The journal was published until 1948 by the “Cosmopolitan Science and Arts Service Co., Inc.” of New York. Discontinued owing to the death of its editor, L. Schopp, it was resumed in 1952 by the “Fordham University Press” of New York. Pietro Nober
