Description
Excerpt from Albert the Great, of the Order of Friar-Preachers: His Life and Scholastic Labours; From Original Documents
Albert''s works; though we have visited nearly all the places sanctified by his presence, with a view to discover person ally the traces and relics of his labours yet the vast extent of his scientific or literary works, the diversity of his science, the scarcity of ancient documents, as well as the difficulties of knowing and consulting local sources, make us fear that many imperfections, many defects, and possibly many errors, may have crept into this history. We would fondly hope, however, that the indulgent reader will recog nise in this work''our conscientious efforts. He will under stand that the love of truth alone has been the motive of all our inquiries for we like to repeat with the old biographer, Peter of Prussia: Non enim sanctc'' nostris delectantur men daciis, qui jam veritatis lumen sunt adepti.
