The 58 works in the above list comprise 199 great folio volumes and 39
in 4^to or 8^vo. The full Maurist bibliography contains the names of
some 220 writers and more than 700 works. The lesser works in large
measure cover the same fields as those in the list, but the number of
works of purely religious character, of piety, devotion and
edification, is very striking. Perhaps the most wonderful phenomenon
of Maurist work is that what was produced was only a portion of what
was contemplated and prepared for. The French Revolution cut short
many gigantic undertakings, the collected materials for which fill
hundreds of manuscript volumes in the Bibliothèque nationale of Paris
and other libraries of France. There are at Paris 31 volumes of
Berthereau's materials for the Historians of the Crusades, not only in
Latin and Greek, but in the oriental tongues; from them have been
taken in great measure the _Recueil des historiens des croisades_,
whereof 15 folio volumes have been published by the Académie des
Inscriptions. There exist also the preparations for an edition of
Rufinus and one of Eusebius, and for the continuation of the Papal
Letters and of the Concilia Galliae. Dom Caffiaux and Dom Villevielle
left 236 volumes of materials for a _Trésor généalogique_. There are
Benedictine Antiquities (37 vols.), a Monasticon Gallicanum and a
Monasticon Benedictinum (54 vols.). Of the Histories of the Provinces
of France barely half a dozen were printed, but all were in hand, and
the collections for the others fill 800 volumes of MSS. The materials
for a geography of Gaul and France in 50 volumes perished in a fire
during the Revolution.
