Part of Thomas Merton Collection

This Records Subgroup contains handwritten notes on books being read by Merton contained primarily in spiral notebooks or in bound paper books. Most notes are unpublished and many are in incomplete sentences or contain direct quotes from something read. Occasionally, Merton wrote a poem in the pages of the notebook. A minority of the notebooks have been transcribed, but all have an index, but not a comprehensive one.

Part of Thomas Merton Collection

This virtual collection is a list of all recorded references by Merton to a book he was reading which were recorded in the seven volumes of his personal journals, the original five volumes of his correspondence, and a growing list of other books by Merton with an emphasis on Merton's published correspondence.

Part of Thomas Merton Collection

This was not published during Merton's life as a book in English, only in French and Portuguese. It was expanded from a three-installment article published in «Collectanea Ordinis Cistciensium Reformatorum» in 1953 (with an additional offprint). A French edition was published in book form in 1956, «Marthe, Marie et Lazare». The English text became the first section of «Thomas Merton on St. Bernard» (Cistercian Publications: Kalamazoo, Michigan) in 1980. See Section C.2, "Martha, Mary and Lazarus" for first drafts of some of the articles.
