. The Catholic encyclopedia; an international work of reference on the constitution, doctrine, discipline, and history of the Catholic Church . their activity, andthat is the careful preparation of catalogues contain-ing a systematic detailed description of the Greekand Latin hagiographical manuscripts of variousgreat libraries. A great many of these catalogueshave been incorporated in the Analecta. Such arethe catalogues of the Greek manuscripts in the Ro-man libraries of the Barberini. the Chigi. and the Vati-can; the National Library of Naples; the librarj of theUniversity of Messina, and that of St. Marks, inVenice; catalogues of the Latin manuscripts in the Royal Library of Bnissels (2 vols, in octavo), in thelibraries of the cities, or of the universities, of Bruges,Ghent, Liege, and Namur. in Belgium; of the munici-pal libraries of Chartres. Le Mans. Uouai, and Rouen,in France; those of The Hague in Holland, and, inItaly, of Milan (the Ambrosian), as well as the vari-ous libraries of Rome; also in the private librarj^ ofHis Majesty the Emperor of Austria, at Vienna, andthat of Alphonsus Wins at Nivelles; and lastly, of. Library, College of , Brussels the Bollandist Library. Besides the Analecta,there have appeared the catalogue of the old (before1500) Latin manuscripts in the National Librarj- ofParis (tliree octavo volumes, also the tables) and alist of the Greek manuscripts in the same library(compiled in collaboration with M. H. Omont). Ailthese publications, although certainly delaying some-what the appearance of succeeding volumes of theActa Sanctormn, have gained for the Bollandistswarm words of encouragement and commendationfrom the greatest scholars. In view of the impossi-bility of qiioting at length these flattering testi-monies, we shall confine ourselves to mentioning, as-they come to mind, tlie articles of Mgr. Duchesne(Billletin critique, 1 April, 1890); Leopold Delisle(Bibliotheque de lecole des Chartres, LI, 1890, 532);.M. Solomon
