Out of copyright books for Verbum - Adrian Fortescue

MJ. Smith

On the Logos side, the Classic Commentaries and Studies provide inexpensive volumes ranging from very useful to meh ... I would suggest a similar set of resources in Verbum only based on authors. The first collection I would like to see would be Adrian Fortescue - his works cover Eastern rites, liturgies, heresies . . .

His bibliography as given on Wikipedia, the proposed collection: Note he died in 1923 - the later dates are reprints. In addition, FL already has three of the titles in their catalogue.

• (1908). The Greek Fathers  London: The Catholic Truth Society
• (1908). The Orthodox Eastern Church London: The Catholic Truth Society.
• Cobham, Claude Delaval; Duckworth, H.T.F.; Fortescue, Adrian; Gedeon, Manouel Io. (1911). The Patriarchs of Constantinople  London: Cambridge University Press.
• (1912). The Mass: A Study of the Roman Liturgy  London, New York: Longmans, Green & Co.
• (1913). The Lesser Eastern Churches London: The Catholic Truth Society.
• (1917). Donatism  London: Burns & Oates.
• (1918, 1934). Ceremonies of the Roman Rite Described. Burns, Oates & Washbourne Ltd; 5th ed edition.
• (1994). Latin Hymns. Roman Catholic Books.
