Abstract

In the 1/2015 issue, this journal inaugurated an overview (2007-2015) of the literature concerning Lorenzo Milani in order to report on the numerous books and articles on the Florentine priest published every year. The overview was required by the task that had been entrusted in 1973-1974 to the John XXIII Institute for Religious Studies by Milani's mother, Alice Weiss, when she decided to donate the Milani archival fund to the research institute in Bologna in order for it to preserve the legacy of this key figure in the history of 20th century Italian Catholicism and to study his life and work. The present bibliographical overview has become even more necessary after the publication of the "Opera Omnia" (Meridiani Mondadori, 2017) with the critical edition of Milani's corpus text and after the conclusion of the double 50th. anniversary: "Letter to a Teacher" (May 1967) and Milani's death (June 1967).
