critical edition of the original Manuscripts, which Mazza has used.
Hence, regarding the use of capital/small letters, not always there
is a strict correspondence with the text in Italian. Only in certain
case, a clear emphasis has been respected;
- the Notes added by Mazza in the body of the LETTERS
have been quoted in normal character; those in italics, instead,
are according to the translators, made necessary in order to
understand some terms written in Latin, or in dialect, or in Italian
prevalent in the Eighteenth century.

Thanks to all the sisters who have collaborated in this demanding
and meticulous work of translation and compilation of this volume
of LETTERS. May it be useful to go deeper into the richness of
Bartolomea’s spiritual experience, which has nourished and
continues to nourish our Institute.

N.B. The anastatic reprinting of 1968 comprises a Note upon the
“HISTORICAL AND SPIRITUAL SOURCES OF THE INSTITUTE OF THE SISTERS OF
CHARITY OF SAINTS BARTOLOMEA CAPITANIO AND VINCENZA GEROSA” useful for
the knowledge of the original sources, collected by Mazza and for their
authenticity, which for right reasons will be printed apart.
