The Climate of Monastic Prayer / mimeograph Place Published: Trappist
Notes
Mimeograph; first soft cover edition. This title was first published in book form in 1969. There are major textual differences between this mimeograph and the expanded, published text. The mimeograph is much briefer and differs in sequence: the introduction and Chapters l-lV here are nearly identical to the corresponding portions of the book; Chapter V corresponds to Chapter Xl of the book; Chapter Vl to Chapter XlV of the book and Chapter Vll to Chapter XVl of the book. The mimeographed version ends after Chapter Vll.
