Title
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.

Notes on Art and Worship / mimeograph Place Published: Trappist, KY
Notes
Mimeograph; this item has been received with gratitude from E. Glenn Hinson, friend of Thomas Merton. It is one of numerous items received from Hinson including 13 mimeographs which he received directly from Thomas Merton in the 1960s. Included in this group are mimeographs by Merton of unpublished works such as Notes on Art and Worship (described here), as well as conference essays such as Conferences on the Rule of St. Benedict, and a Choir Novitiate copy from 1959 of Selections on Prayer. This collection of items represent an important first look at what Merton was working on later in his life, representing his writing before publication. Perhaps in the order of 100 copies of each essay were mimeographed and distributed to friends and acquaintances.
