Excerpt from Saint Dominic and the Order of PreachersAny sketch of the mission, organization and his tory of the Dominican Order which did not contain an adequate study of its holy founder would be much like the play of Hamlet with the Dane left out. For it is from its founder that every order gets its own genuine and authentic spirit, temper, fibre, character, individuality, ethos - or whatever other name may be chosen to designate the marks that distinguish and set off, apart and alone, one re ligious institute from every other. If, then, no two orders are alike in spirit and organization, it is for the very simple reason that no two individuals are quite the same in temperament and ideals.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
