Description
The letters edited in this volume — over 160 — make it possible to follow the slow process which culminated in the publication of the critical edition of the Martyrologium Hieronymianum by Henri Quentin and Hippolyte Delehaye in 1931. They also reveal numerous exchanges of views by the two scholars on many other subjects: the edition of the Martyrologium Romanum in 1922, the activities of the Historical Section of the Congregation of Rites created in 1930, etc., at a time which was still very much marked by the consequences of the modernist crisis.
