Juan Edmundo Vecchi – “Letter of the Rector Major” in “Acts of the General Council of the salesian society of St John Bosco”
In recent meetings with provincials and confreres, the suggestion was made to the Rector Major that occasionally he should interrupt the series of doctrinal letters and instead share impressions and news of the Congregation and the Church from his own perspective, almost in the style of a Good Night message.

Egidio Viganò – “Letter of the Rector Major” in “Acts of the General Council of the salesian society of St John Bosco”

Giovanni Bosco – “Memoirs of the oratory” in “Salesian Sources 1. Don Bosco and his work. Collected Works”
Written over several occasions between 1873 and 1875, the manuscript of the Memoirs of the Oratory remained unpublished by Don Bosco’s explicit will. Continue reading “Giovanni Bosco – “Memoirs of the oratory” in “Salesian Sources 1. Don Bosco and his work. Collected Works””
Giovanni Bosco – “The two “official” regulations (1877)” in “Salesian Sources 1. Don Bosco and his work. Collected Works”
In the years from 1853 to 1862, Valdocco was transformed from a festive Oratory—an open institution—into a complex work: hospice and boarding, college with boarding section, trade workshops, internal classes and publishing centre, amongst the most important sections.
Giovanni Bosco – “Educational reading and spreading good books (1860-1885)” in “Salesian Sources 1. Don Bosco and his work. Collected Works”
In the late 19th century, Saint John Bosco, or Don Bosco, expressed deep concern over the detrimental impact of bad literature on young students. In response, he initiated the establishment of the “Library for Italian Youth” or “Library of Italian Classics” in 1868, a tangible effort to provide a positive alternative. Continue reading “Giovanni Bosco – “Educational reading and spreading good books (1860-1885)” in “Salesian Sources 1. Don Bosco and his work. Collected Works””
Giovanni Bosco – “Pedagogical and didactic principles and disciplinary matters (1846-1879)” in “Salesian Sources 1. Don Bosco and his work. Collected Works”
The ten brief documents that follow—some perhaps less known than the previous ones in Salesian history—are also interesting from the point of view of the maturing and practice of Don Bosco’s educational system. We have a necessarily limited selection here of personal letters to people responsible for public education, or to young people and teachers, and circulars on pedagogical and didactic issues.
