ResumoMISCELLANEA LOUIS LIPSIN, O.F.M. CONV. Recently R. Verseo, O.F.M., published a valuable article on the Franciscans in the Council of Trent. l We now find in an autograph of Lipsin some notes on the Conventuals and that same Council . It will undoubtedly interesl Varesco and his readers to see these notes. In publishing them we shall take occasion to add a few remarks suggested by the manuscript, and copy some texts which mighl help ?? give an idea on pedagogy among lhe Convenluals around 1750. According to D. Speracio, O.F.M. Conv., 2 Lipsin was born in Liege, Belgium; no date is given, but since Lipsin, in 1717, published a French paraphrase of the Psalm Deus venerunt gentes, we can be sure he was born before 1700. He became a member of lhe Cologne province of the Conventuals, a doctor of theology at Montpellier, France, and subsequently was twice Provincial of lhe Liege province. In 1741 he was Vice-Custos of the S. Convento in Assisi; from 1750, he was Custos of the same convent, and a synodal examinator in the Seraphic City where he died in 1767. The autograph conserved in the library of our Franciscan Institute allows us to be a little more precise, namely, that Lipsin had been in Assisi since 1736 or thereabout. In Part II, 447, we find the following text: 3 Nostris temporibus, obierunt in Sacro Assiensi Conventu : P. M. Philippus Leider, Germanus, ex provincia Styriae, depost (sic; read qui post?) filius Sacri Conventus Assisiensis . . . Obiit placidissime in Domino inter fratrum adstantium preces die (blank) anno 1742. — Ego Frater Ludovicus Lipsin, qui haec scribo, tester me confessiones ipsius ferme per sex annos excepisse, in quibus materia absolutionis sacramentalis vix reperire erat . . . Our manuscript is on paper, always of the same quality (except a few additions) 268x190 mm. Bound in parchement. The writing is a modern current handwriting. A few corrections and additions 1.I Frati Minor! al Concilio di Trente, in Archivum Franc. Hist. XLI (1948) 88-60 ; XLII (1949) 95-188. 2.GIi studi di storia e i Minori Conventuali in Miscellanea Francescana XX (1919) 33-34 (life of Lipsin), 35-36 (his works). 3.In this and the following texts of Lipsin we write in italics what is underlined in the manuscript ; we retain the author's orthography, and frequently, the material disposition of the text : e. g , in he lists quoted later the alinement is from Lipsin. 96 MISCELLANEA97 are made by a more beautiful hand. The manuscript has two parts, with a distincl pagination added by the auihor himself. He gives lhe two parts a common title: p. (I) Compendiosa — Historia; p. (II) Compendiosa — Historia — Vitae Seraphici patris Francisci — et — Variarum sut Ordinis — Congregationum — in formam dialogi redacta — pro — clarion intelligentia, et firmiori — Rerum Descriptarum — memoria. — per fratrem Ludovicum Lipsin ordinis Fratrum — Minorum Conventualium. The second hand wrote p. (V) Compendiosa — Historia — Vitae Seraphici Patris Francisci — Et — Variarum sui Ordinis Reformationum — In qua — Referuntur Regulas Interpretes, eorum explicationes — glossae, et quorumdam Pontificum, Generaliumque — Constitutiones. — Ministri Generales Conventualium, — Observantium, et Capuccionorum, — Sancti , et Viri Illustres — Et — Plurima alia ad ampliorem Franciscanam — Historiam efformandam conducentia — ut ex indice patebit — Cum notis criticis — In Formam Dialogi. The pages (II), (IV) and (VI) are blank. P. (VII) has an introduction Ad Lectorem; then follow pp. (VIII-XVI) blank. The Compendiosa Historia Vitae S. P. Francisci covers the pp. 1-150, though the author forgot to add the title of this part: p. 1 starts with Articulus primus De Statu Ecclesiae , patria, progenie et ortu, Beau Francisci. These pages 1-150 are written, it seems, between June 10, 1746 and July 4, 1746; the first date is written by the author on p. 1 (below), and the second on p. 150 (below). After p. 150 we find two blank pages, pp. 153172 contains Dicta notabilia S. Francisci, pp. 173-175 Orationes Beati Patris Francisci, pp. 175-176 Verba B. P. N. Francisci exhortatoria ad Fratres. The pp. (177 and 180) preserved two inscriptions of the church of the S. Convento: In Ingressu Ecclesiae supra arcum, sequentes leguntur inscriptiones; p. (177) has the first one, p. (180) the second; by an error...
