Oops, something went zap and my previous message went flying off before its wings were entirely glued on. I was recommending the Bibliographia Carmelitana Annualis, which as well as being annual is ongoingly retrospective, if that is the correct term, unembarrassedly picking up any items that have been missed since its inception in 1954. So I see in the latest issue to hand--BCA 1994, in Carmelus 42:2 (1995)--a listing of Kirk Stevan Smith, The ecclesiology of controversy: scripture, tradition and church in the theology of Thomas Netter of Walden, 1372-1430 (Ph.D. thesis, Cornell, 1983). Grover probably already knows about that one. However, a browse through the BCA should turn up most of the scholarship on Netter since '53, including perhaps some obscurer items which may not have appeared in the main medieval and theological bibliographies. The bibliographies which many of the older religious orders publish are, it often seems, an underestimated resource. We Carmelites are ever moaning and groaning about publications which show little acquaintance with recent scholarship on the order and keep the old furphies doing the rounds. But I suppose that is a different story. -- Paul Chandler || Yarra Theological Union [log in to unmask] || Melbourne College of Divinity %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
