Publication Notes
This digital version (2010) of The Life and Letters of Saint Peter Julian Eymard differs slightly from the original printed edition (1995). It does not include maps or photographic images. Chronologies of Events that were interspersed throughout the printed volumes have been consolidated at the end of each digital volume as a discrete section with separate page numbering from the rest of the volume. Because the pagination in the digital version does not precisely coincide with the printed version, if pages from the digital version are cited, the digital version should be identified in any such citation. Document numbering is the same in either printed or digital versions.
