| Introduction | John Baptist Remondini is a pseudonym for a Son of the Most Holy Redeemer. John Baptist, whom St. Alphonsus greatly esteemed, was a member of the Remondini family firm of publishers in Venice. Saint Alphonsus had his many works published by them. "The other very urgent reason which has driven me to have it printed here secretly in Naples, and then send it, is the great severity there is here in Naples towards such works. For if they had opened the box to look at the manuscript I should have lost the labour of eight months, and should with difficulty, be able to succeed in doing it again. And therefore I will send you one copy, and if it is lost it matters little, because I will send you another, while I shall have only eight or ten copies struck off. It will cost me a little expense, but patience! since this is a matter on behalf of the Church in this great storm which is passing." (St. Alphonsus -letter to Remondini about his pamphlet against Febronius, June 1768). |
