LE BULLETIN DES RECHERCHES HISTORIQUES VOL.XLVI LÉVIS, JUILLET 1940 No 7 THE LITERATURE RELATVE TO KATERI TEKAK-WITHA, THE LILY OF THE MOHAWKS, 1656-1680 Foreword In little there is much.Over two hundred and fifty years ago, Kateri Tekakwitha lived in obscurity a short time on this earth.Today, the life of this candidate for the altar is thoroughly documented by an amazing sequence of documents.The present list attempts to give all these first roots and rootlets of the later lives, in many, though not all the reprints and translations.More recent biographies are listed separately, followed by as many periodical articles relating to the subject as were found and deemed worthy of inclusion.The word «attributed» in the annotations referring to miraculous intercession arose out of deference to the present state of the cause for the beatification of the Mohawk maiden, which has been officially introduced in Rome by the Sacred Congregation of Rites.The word «trustworthy» in the annotations denotes that the work referred to was so judged by the Sacred Congregation of Rites, Historical Section.Care taken to provide essential information about the literature listed does not mean that the list makes pretentions to perfection in scholarship.Slight variations on title of the same work are not always noted.Books not seen are noted in the majority of cases.Brief titles appear for books analyzed; and brackets around a title denotes one supplied.Ordinarily, the historical order of arrangement might win preference above the alphabetic form, but in the present instance, the latter brings all the reprints, translations, and other works, under their single, original author.La Bulletin nas Recherches Historiques, Vol.XLVI, No 7, juillet 1940. — 194 — For encouragement and generous help given in the preparation of this list, I thank the Rev.John J.Wynne, S.J., vice-postulator in the cause for the beatification and canonization of the holy maid.For technical advice in matters of form, gratitude goes to Mr.Laurence A.Leavey, editor of the Catholic Periodical Index.Mr.Pierre-Georges Roy, Archivist of the Province of Quebec, Canada, graciously assisted in supplying several titles.Thanks is also given the Fordham University Press for assistance granted.Authorities The single most important aid used was the pamphlet, Beatification of the Servant of God, Catherine Tekakwitha, by the Rev.John J.Wynne, S.J.(No.87 in this list), which contains a list of books and documents relating to Tekakwitha, and is referred to in the text simply as «Wynne».Other literature found in the list proper furnished needed information for annotations, and other bibliographic facts.In addition, the following are useful references: La bibliographie de Kateri Tekakwitha.Two-page, typewritten MS of works about Kateri Tekakwitha, in the .Archives of St.Mary’s College, Montreal.Broun, S.J.Catholic mission literature.Dublin, 1932.-International index of Catholic biographies.2nd ed.London, 1933 Canadian catalogue of books.Toronto, 1921-37.Catholic periodical index, 1930-31; a guide to Catholic magazines.Scranton, Pa., 1931-32 Cumulative book index.New York, 1928-39.Gutidaj.P.John Gilmary Shea.New York, 1926.Leavey.L.A., ed.Catholic periodical index, a cumulative author and subject list to a selected list of Catholic periodicals.1930-33.New York, 1939.Palstrs, V.H Contributions to the bibliography of the «Lettres Edifiantes».Cleveland, Ohio, 1900.Pans.Bibliothèque nationale.Catalogue général des livres imprimés: Auteurs.Paris, 1900.P tiling.J.-G.Bibliography of the Algonquin languages.Washington, 1891.-Bibliography of the Iroquoian languages.Washington, L* Enuiw w R.BrsucHxs HmouQcs, Vol.XLVI, No 7, piillct 1910. — 195 Roy, P.-G.Index du Bulletin des Recherches Historiques.Beauceville, 1926, t.4.Streit, R.Bibliotheca missionum.Aachen, Ger., 1927.bd.3.Willging, E.P.The index to American Catholic pamphlets.St.Paul, Minn., 1937.-Same.Supplement one.1938.Winsor, /.The Jesuit relations and other mission records.(In his Narrative and critical history of America.Boston and New York, 1884, v.4, p.293-316.)
