St. Philip Neri & the Early Oratorians
|
St. Philip Neri (1515-1595), after founding a confraternity of laymen in Rome, was ordained a priest in 1551. He then assembled a community of priests, which was formally approved as the "Congregation of the Oratory" in 1575. To this day, the priests and brothers of the Oratory "live in common without vows and seek their own sanctification by following the evangelical counsels, community life, prayer, and the priestly ministry" (New Catholic Encyclopedia, "Oratorians"). Oratories now exist in numerous countries. St. Philip is known as the "second Apostle of Rome". Among his rich spiritual legacy is the Roman "Pilgrimage to the Seven Churches" .

PAGI, ANTONIUS [ANTOINE PAGI] (1624-1699). Critica historico-chronologica in annales ecclesiasticos eminent[issi]mi et reverend[issi]mi Cæsaris Cardinalis Baronii, illustrissimi & reverendissimi Henrici Spondani... in qua rerum narratio defenditur, illustratur, suppletur; ordo temporum corrigitur, innovatur, & periodo græco-romana nunc primùm concinnata munitur. Apud viduam Edmundi Martin, Joannem Boudot, & Stephanum Martin, 1689. Folio, [xxxv + l + 43pp + 101pp + 93pp + 127pp + 320pp + 55pp]. Worn but intact, blind stamped mottled-calf. Six raised frets with faded gilded compartments to spine. Clear red title label to spine with gilded title. Edgewear is severe and covers are scuffed and in some places peeling. Hinges and joints split, held intact by the original stitching. Library markings to title-page. Blank endpapers are tearing at inner margin or absent. Title-page secure. Worm holes to lower right corner of first 15 or so pages. Foxing or browning to several pages, otherwise text is clear and legible. Dual columns. Several lovely vignettes. Overall condition fair. This is the first edition of the first volume of the great supplement and correction of Cesare Baronius's (1538-1607) 'Annales ecclesiastici'. Baronius, Oratorian, successor of St. Philip Neri, cardinal and almost pope, is remembered primarily for his pioneering work in the critical study of history. At the command of Neri, he began giving conferences at San Girolamo on the history of the Church, and these he perfected over the course of many years. Later, also at the bidding of Neri, he began to commit these to writing with much additional and painstaking research. The first volume was published in 1588. The twelfth volume he completed just before his death, bringing the work from the time of Christ to 1198. Though the history sometimes contained errors in chronology or fact, it was in its time the most serious and scholarly attempt at history as a science. Antoine Pagi, a Conventual Franciscan of Arles and an historian of unusual acumen, having discerned a number of the errors in the Venerable Baronius's Annales, set about writing a separate work, perfecting that of Baronius. The first volume, of which this is an example, was printed at Paris, 1689. The other three were completed shortly before his death in 1699, but were only published posthumously. His nephew, François Pagi, O.F.M. (1654-1721), who also was an historian, edited the entire work and published it in 4 volumes at Geneva, 1705.

The French Oratory
|
"The French Oratory....is entirely distinct juridically from the Institute of the Oratory of St Philip Neri. The way of life is completely different, with a common noviciate and members moving about from one community to another. There are also some similarities, since both acknowledge a common Father in St Philip and the members do not take vows. The French Oratory...assumed the name of the 'Oratory of Jesus and Mary Immaculate'....Père Bouyer continues the line of distinguished writers which includes Condren, Morinus, Massillon, Malebranche and many others." Raleigh Addington, The Idea of the Oratory (Burns & Oates, 1966) p.63.

MORINUS, JOANNES [JEAN MORIN] (1591-1659). Joannis Morini... Commentarius historicus de disciplina in administratione sacramenti poenitentiæ.... Apud Nicolaum Pezzana, 1702. Folio. Half-title + title-page in red and black +[xxviii] + 674pp. Bound in full contemporary vellum with some wear. Upper hinge (inside) cracked. Author and title in manuscript to spine. Light stain at lower margin near foot of spine. Front endpapers a bit shabby. Text is fine. Good overall condition. Jean Morin was a French Oratorian priest. He is highly regarded for his biblical and liturgical scholarship. This work, his historical commentary on the sacrament of Penance, was first published at Paris in 1651. In this work, Morin shows the different names by which the Greeks and Latins have referred to the Sacrament of Penance and that it was always required of a penitent to show evidence of true conversion. Morin also shows, from the historical perspective, the various manners of practicing confession, the difference between sins committed before or after Baptism, the external discipline of Penance observed until the time of Novatian, and the distinction made in the first four centuries between capital, mortal, and venial sins. In the last portion of this volume, Morin provides excerpts of key source matter in Latin, Greek, and Hebrew. Those parts in Greek or Hebrew are accompanied by a Latin translation.

Newman, Faber, & the English Oratorians
|
"Before returning to England, with the encouragement of several of his Roman friends and of Pius IX as well, Newman and his companions went to the Oratory of St. Philip Neri at Santa Croce to learn the rule and customs of the Oratory. After returning to England on Christmas Eve 1847, Newman established the first Oratory in England at Birmingham the following Feb. 2. His influence among the Catholics and recent Anglican converts was very great. He was joined in the Oratory by Frederick W. Faber and other converts from the Church of England. After a falling out of no great consequence, Newman encouraged Faber to open an Oratory in London. This he did in May 1849, while Newman stayed behind to undertake the instruction of the factory workers of Birmingham" (New Catholic Encylcopedia, "Newman, John Henry"). The Birmingham and London Oratories are still active to this day; another Oratory was founded in Oxford in 1990.
