Select Bibliography
For those wishing to do further research, very complete bibliographies will be found in: Angelus Walz, Compendium Historiae Ordinis Praedicatorum, rev. ed. (Rome: Pontificium Athenaeum "Angelicum," 1948) and William A. Hinnebusch, The History of the Dominican Order (to 1500), 2 vols. (Staten Island, NY: Alba House, 1965-1973). For the total history, besides these two works, see Daniel Antonin Mortier, Histoire des Maitres Généraux, 8 tom. (Paris: A. Picard et Fils, 1920) and William A. Hinnebusch, The Dominicans: A Short History (Staten Island, NY: Alba House, 1975). The 1968 revision of the Book of Constitutions and Ordinations of the Order of Friars Preachers in English translation (Rome: General Curia, 1984) is also fundamental. The most complete collection of short biographies in English is Mary Jean Dorcy, Saint Dominic's Family: Lives and Legends (Dubuque, IA: Priory Press, 1963). The following are works available in English which illustrate the various centuries. Secondary sources are indented and follow the primary source to which they are relevant.
