Untitled - Shattering Denial

BIBLIOGRAPHY
THIS volume does not contain any unpublished docu
ments. Every reference in the footnotes may be verified
in books that have already been published. We have,
however, gone conscientiously to the sources, although
occasionally we cite works at second hand. Among the
best of these are the works of Lea, Tanon, Douais, and
Dollinger.
We have already given our estimate of Lea and Tanon
in the preface.
Mgr. Douais is chiefly an editor of documents; his
critical ability is usually beyond reproach. I would make
one exception, however, with regard to his edition of
Bernard Gui s Practica inquisitionis lareticce pravitatis.
There are four manuscripts of this work, two of which
(Nos. 387, 388) are in the library
of Toulouse. Tanon
(loc. cit., p. 163) "regrets that Mgr. Douais, instead of
giving us a critical edition of the text, simply copied
Manuscript 387, whereas No. 389 is the better. For,
according to Molinier, this manuscript is the older; it
belonged to the Inquisition of Toulouse, where, as its
condition shows, it was in constant use; and finally, it
contains important marginal notes in the fourth part/
