Subject: [Vsg] History of Catholic literature

Hi folks,

I'm trying to track down a book and I'm wondering if anyone has any suggestions. The book is Vo Long Te, Lich Su Van Hoc Cong Giao Viet Nam, volume 3. I was only able to find volume 1 in Vietnam (published in Saigon, 1965), and no library that I've checked (Cornell, BN in Paris) has volumes 2 or 3. At this point, I'm wondering whether the other volumes were ever written - the only indication that I have that they exist is that the edition I saw in Vietnam has the table of contents for all 3 volumes (the edition at Cornell doesn't). Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks!

This may be something of a long shot, but you might try contacting Tom Fox, who has spent his life engaged with both Vietnam and Catholicism, to see if he has a suggestion.

Dear Charles,

1. The Library of Congress has only volume 1 of "Lich-su van-hoc Cong-giao Viet-Nam." From the introduction, the author, Vo Long Te, said,

"Toan bo gom ba cuon, moi cuon rieng ve mot thoi ky cua van hoc Cong-giao Viet-Nam:

- Cuon I: Tu khoi-thuy den giua the-ky XVII

-Cuon II: Tu giua the-ky XVII den giua the-ky XIX.

-Cuon III: Tu giua the-ky XIX den hien tai"

The Table of content (Muc luc) is from page 301 to 307 at the end of the book, and with the phrase "the end of volume I." I found no Table of content for vol. II & III in this volume I.

2. The Library of Congress also has "The history of the Catholic Church in Vietnam" by Pham Phat Huon, 974 pages.

Best wishes,

Lien Huong

I checked OCLC, the main cataloging source for libraries, and it listed Harvard, UC Berkeley, Yale, Library of Congress and ISEAS in Singapore as having it, but all had volume 1 only.

I have not checked RLIN yet, which is the other main source for library cataloging.
