PREFFACE: These papers were delivered between 1990 and 1992. They made up a part of the "Patristic. Medieval arid Renaissance Conferences" sponsored by the Augustinian Historical Institute. The talks 'were held at Villanova University in Philadelphia, Pa. Fr. Joseph Schnaubelt O.S.A. and Professor Thomas Losoncy, PhD organized the sessions. The conferences in the order in which they were delivered are presented.

The form of the speakers’ talks and their notes has been preserved to remind the reader that themes have been presented at conferences. This volume is dedicated to Fr. William Gallagher. O.S.F.S. and Fr. Andre Ravier SJ. Both these men ‘were keen Salesian scholars devoted to learning St. Francis de Sales’ teachings and disseminating them to the world.
