NEW RESOURCE: BIBLIOGRAPHIES OF SALESIAN STUDIES IN
ENGLISH
ROME: 2nd November -- At last! A set of
bibliographies which many English-speaking Salesians will find useful. The
result of work over several years by Frs. Mike Mendl (US) and Bernard Grogan
(UK), and now available on Bosconet,
the complete set of bibliographies includes the following:
* A general bibliography of works on Don
Bosco.
* Basic primary resources for Salesian
Studies - this file contains a bibliography of the documents emanating from the
Salesian General House in Rome. Obviously it needs to be constantly
updated.
* RSS-JSS: two files in fact, with all the
works in English referenced in RSS (Richerche Storiche Salesiane).
Separate references are given for articles or works referenced there but
belonging to other journals, e.g. Journal of Salesian Studies.
* The titles of all Letters of Rectors Major from
1965-2002. The letters of Fr. Vigano are already available through
Bosconet. All letters from AGC 350 onwards are in fact on disk and
are gradually being added to the Rome Web Portal www.sdb.org
All five files are available in a single zipped
file on Bosconet. They make a precious addition to efforts across the
Salesian English-speaking world to make as much material available as possible,
especially for Salesian Studies courses, but also for all confreres who wish to
find material. Of course, once an item is located in the bibliography, the
next step is to find it! Provinces or publishers are only too willing to
help, naturally.
It is a long-term aim of the Web Portal (Rome) to
make such bibliographies available in five languages, and to extend beyond the
above list to other works either published by Salesian publishers or by
Salesians with other publishers.
