Footnotes
189:1 The space devoted by Fr. Van Ortroy, S.J., to Franciscan history in this periodical assumes larger proportions each year.
189:2 A critical edition of this work will form Vol. IV of the Anal. Franc.
191:1 When this volume is almost through the press, I learn of the publication of Fr. Edouard's long-promised edition of Celano's works—S. Francisci Assisiensis vita et miracula additis opusculis liturgicis auctore Fr. Thoma de Celano. Hanc editionem novam ad fidem mss. recensuit P. Eduardus Alenconiensis, Rome. Desclée, 1905.
195:1 Wadding's Annales appeared at Lyons in 8 vols. in fol. 1625-54. Fr. Jos. Man. Fonseca published a new edition and a continuation of the Annales in 19 vols. at Rome, 1731-45. The official Annalists of the Friars Minor have since added 6 vols. (tom. 20-25), which were issued at Naples, Ancona, and Quaracchi. The last vol. (t. 25) edited by Fr. Eusebius Fernandzin († 1899) extends to the year 2622. The Quaracchi Friars are now engaged on the 26th volume.
