Notes on Art and Worship / mimeograph Place Published: Privately printed at Gethsemani (Trappist, Kentucky)
Notes
Mimeograph; text on recto only. In "The Seven Mountains of Thomas Merton" (1984, page 319) Mott reports that in 1959 Merton was interested in writing a book on religeous art. Such a book was never published although some material did appear in different essays. This mimeograph is part of a larger set of mimeographs that was obtained from the convent of Saint Helena at Vails Gate, New York. One of the sister's there had met with Merton with a few others while she resided at a sister house at Versailles, Kentucky (this meeting was noted in "The School of Charity" on page 198 and in "Dancing in the Waters of Life - Journal #5" on page 40). From that meeting the convent was put on Merton's mailing list and received numerous mimeographs in the 1960s - some of which are housed in this collection. Some of the publication information of these mimeographs was obtained with the kind participation of Patricia Burton, noted Merton bibliographer.

Ways of Survival / Taoism Place Published: Privately printed at the Abbey of Gethsemani (Trappist, KY)
Notes
Original mimeograph. Although this item was not written by Merton it came as a part of a group of over 30 original Merton mimeographs and offprints purchased from Merton bookdealer Jeannette Cantrell who received them from monk of Gethsemani Tom Zele. This group of items were obtained by Zele during the 1960s while living alongside Merton at the monastery. It is likely that it was at least selected by Merton, noting the content and that it was a part of a larger group of Merton mimeographs.
