I'd suggest contacting the archives of the Order of Preachers in Rome, who
I think are online. Undoubtedly their scholars have prepared collections of
documents. I know that in the Order of Friars Minor there is a monumental
Annales Minorum which contains all kinds of letters of this type; I'd
expect the Dominicans have the same somewhere.
