St. Dominic And The Rosary, Rev. A.M. Skelly, O.P.

Historical Catholic and Dominican Documents

This little pamphlet reprints a series of correspondence that arose out of a minor allusion in a sermon preached in Holy Rosary Church, Portland, Oregon, U. S. A. by the Rev. A. M. Skelly, O.P.

On Rosary Sunday it is usual in Dominican churches to commemorate the monumental victory won by the Christian armies over the Turks at Lepanto by a solemn procession in honor of the Queen of the Rosary, to whose prayers and influence with God the victory is attributed.

Historical Catholic and Dominican Documents

A 13^th century manuscript preserved by the nuns of Monte Mario, Rome, who claim the breviary was a gift from Jordan of Saxony to the Blessed Diana d’Andalo as a remembrance of St. Dominic.

The Blessed Diana d’Andalò (1201–1236), was the Dominican nun who founded a convent for her order dedicated to Saint Agnes in Italy. There is some question as to the claim however. According to Father William R. Bonniwell, O.P., who obtained this photocopy of the breviary, the handwriting style stems from the middle of the 13^th century. This would date the manuscript to at least …
