Description
Item Description:The Relations, a collection of lives of monks at La Trappe, was first written by Rancé in 1677 and expanded in 1683. The work was augmented several times by other Trappists, up to the final 5 v. eds. of 1755 and 1758. According to the imprimatur on p. iv, this German translation is based on the 1713 Paris ed., see: Krailsheimer, Rancé and the Trappist Legacy, 1985;BN, v. 146, p. 343-4; Dictionnaire de théologie catholique, v. 13, p. 1655; and NUC Pre-56, v. 480, p. 529.
Headline in T. 3, p. 91 and 93 incorrectly labelled as "Fratris Palemonis" instead of "Fratris Basilii."
