Description: Presents for the first time the basic encyclicals of Leo XIII arranged in the order expressly indicated by the Pope himself. The introduction provides a proper perspective for the encyclicals; his notes clarify obscure points; his summaries provide an immediate grasp of each encyclical; and his study of the variant translations is invaluable. In short, here is the definitive collection of the most important and far-reaching papal pronouncements of the modern age.
