A Bibliography of the Assumption

A BIBLIOGRAPHY OF THE ASSUMPTION IT is not our purpose to furnish our readers with a complete bibliography on Our Lady's Assumption. This would be almost impossible, and indeed beyond the means at our disposal, considering the vast proportions of the literature on the subject. Hence a limited selection has seemed imperative. We shall pass over in silence, for example, the hundreds of homilies written in honor of Mary's prerogative from the sixth century up to the present time. Excerpts of these, for the period preceding the Council of Trent, will be found in C. Balic, 0. F. M., Testimonia de Assumptione Beatae Virginia Mariae ex omnibus saeculis; pars prior (Romae, 1948) . Those written in more recent times are accessible in the various collections of sermons, homiletic reviews, and similar sets intended for the convenience of preachers. For reasons of brevity we shall likewise omit all reference to manuals of theology and general works on Mariology which devote a special section or chapter to this doctrine. For the most part, our list of publications will include books, pamphlets and magazine articles dealing exclusively with Mary's Assumption 1 .and written within the last one hundred years. For the sake of convenience we shall follow the alphabetical order. Actas del Congreso Mariano Franciscano-Espaiiol celebrado en Madrid, 21-26 de octubre, 1947 (Madrid, 1948).
