THE Prima Primaria, which, in the words of the present Pontiff, Leo XIII., holds the first place among Sodalities established in honour of the Mother of God (Quæ frugiferas inter Sodalitates in Deiparæ Virginis honorem ubique terrarum institutas principem locum obtinet), was canonically established by Gregory XIII., in the Bull, Omnipotentis Dei Salvatoris, December 5, 1584. It has been thought that the occasion of the Tercentenary of the Prima Primaria, December 5, 1884, was a suitable opportunity for the publication of a Manual intended for Sodalities affiliated to the Prima Primaria. many Sodalities in these countries and America are affiliated to the Prima Primaria, even of such as are under the direction of the secular

clergy, and the members will naturally be anxious to have a Manual in English which enables them to form an estimate of what the Sodality really means. I have acceded to the request made to me, and translated the twenty-seven introductory chapters from the official guide to the Prima Primaria, which bears the title Notizie istoriche e regole della Congregazione Prima Primaria nel Collegio Romano della Compagnia di Gesù. I have closely adhered to the original, even at the risk of seeming sometimes rather diffuse. An English version of these rules has never come under my notice. They give, as nothing else can, an adequate idea of all that is comprised by the Sodality. The nearer any Sodality approaches to the rules and practices of the Prima Primaria, the more perfect that Sodality is sure to be. But as every Sodality will naturally have its own regulations, suited to the wants and circumstances of its members, these are meant to appear in the form of Appendix, to be printed as the Director of any particular Sodality may require.
