Ebook: The Dominicans: A Short History

This work is an overview rather than a detailed account of events which make up more than seven and a half centuries of Dominican history. Its originality lies in the marshalling of the content of Dominican history. Presenting the course of development briefly, it gives but a nod to many issues which would demand extensive treatment in a larger work. It concentrates on showing the Order’s growth from the small beginnings of the thirteenth century to a world-wide presence in the twentieth. A bibliography at the end of this study, lists important works; and monographs dealing in more detail with Dominican history.
