The Historical Institute of the Order of Preachers recently held a meeting of Dominican history students which took place in the very hospitable atmosphere of the St. Thomas Aquinas Priory in Toulouse from the 14th<\/sup> to the 16th<\/sup> of September 2016. In organising this meeting, the Institute has taken up the former tradition from 1998\u20132006. Ten friars from eight provinces of the Order (Hispania, Toulouse, Colombia, Holy Rosary, Argentina, St. Joseph in the USA, Malta and Switzerland) who are historians-in-training or potential historians of the Order participated in the seminar. In light of the Jubilee year, Toulouse was chosen as a fitting location because of its role as the cradle of the Order.<\/p>\n

The friars had the opportunity to get to know the work of the Institute, to establish contact with the General Archives of the Order, represented by the archivist fr. Gaspar Sigaya OP, as well as to learn about some of the research projects carried out by advanced Dominican historians in cooperation with other, non-Dominican scholars and institutions. Fr. Paul-Bernard Hodel\u00a0OP, professor of Church History at the Faculty of Theology in Fribourg, spoke about a collection of sources on Saint Dominic on which he is currently working. Fr. Augustin Laffay OP, a member of the Historical Institute and archivist of the Province of Toulouse, presented the online biographic dictionary of French dominicans (Dictionnaire biographique des fr\u00e8res pr\u00eacheurs. Dominicains des provinces fran\u00e7aises: XIXe<\/sup>-XXe<\/sup> si\u00e8cles),<\/em> which is a common project of scholars of the \u00c9cole des Hautes \u00c9tudes en Sciences Sociales<\/em> and the Dominican provinces of France and Toulouse.<\/p>\n
