John E. Rybolt, C.M.

This bibliography sets out to include everything published about Saint Vincent de Paul in English through the present day.  One continues to be struck with the large quantity of these publica­tions, beginning in 1664.  Part I covers books, pamphlets, and theses; Part II contains periodical and encyclopedia articles and book reviews.  This listing does not include non-print items, such as audio or videotapes, and slides.  The Vincentian Studies Institute will gratefully receive and publish additions and corrections to this bibliography, and will publish periodic updates.  The editor wishes to thank the many librarians and archivists who contributed to this publication.
