Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life of St. Melania As for the contents of the Cardinal's great work, it consists of an edition of the Latin and Greek texts of the Life of St. Melania the Younger, the Latin text, as His Eminence explains, having been first dis covered by himself now nearly twenty-five years ago in the library of the Escurial. But over and above the text, his volume has served as the shrine of an immense apparatus of miscellaneous learning. In the words of Abbot Butler's notice just referred to, the book probably contains all that can be known from extant materials concerning the younger Melania and the whole circle in which She moved.
