Author Topic: 1858 Raccolta by Ambrose St. John (Read 3668 times)

Miseremini · « **on:** November 29, 2012, 10:16:21 PM »

The 1858 Raccolta was translated by Ambrose St. John, the companion of Cardinal Newman. They both went to Rome and Ambrose was granted permission by the Pope to translate the Raccolta which had only be written in Latin and Italian up to that time, into English. Thankfully he included all the Popes who had indulgenced each devotion so we can see how far back it goes.
In the introduction he states that EVERY docuмent in Romes states that the indulgence is FOREVER. Also the docuмents read YEARS not days.
I've compared the site below to an original book (it has not yet been reprinted) and found it to be accurate except for a couple spelling mistakes Also the original has additional prayers in the back as it was to be used as a prayer book.

You can also get this as a free EPUB or PDF file from Google books.

Raccolta

If the link doesn't work go to google books, then type in Raccolta Ambrose. It is the one with the green cover.

Sorry this book is 1877, 20 years later and already starting to be compromised.

I would like if someone could find a Latin Raccolta, as there are a number of prayers rendered in English in the translated versions with no Latin.

I missed this original post. Thanks for bumping (and posting).

Here is a 1958 reprint you can buy. It has "many of the more commonly used prayers and devotions [that] are followed by the Latin text".

Thank you ascent!

I am hoping eventually there'll be a scan of the Latin text itself completely too!
