Every year, since 1854, has been printed a collection of pontifical
acts, _Acta Pii IX., Acta Leonis XIII._, &c., which are the
equivalents of the _Bullarium_. Dictionaries: Durand de Maillane,
_Dictionnaire canonique_ (Paris, 1786), re-edited by Andre under the
title, _Cours alphabetique et methodique de droit canonique_, and by
Wagner (Paris, 1894), has Gallican tendencies; Ferraris, _Prompta
bibliotheca canonica_, &c., several new and enlarged editions; the
best is that of Migne (1866), completed by Father Bucceroni, _Ferraris
Supplementum_ (Rome, 1899). Articles on canon law in Wetzer und
Welte's _Kirchenlexicon_ (2nd ed., Freiburg, 1880 et seq.); Hauck,
_Realencyklopadie fur prot. Theologie und Kirche_ (2nd ed., Leipzig,
1877-1888); Vacant-Mangenot's _Dictionnaire de theologie catholique_,
in course of publication (Paris, 1899 et seq.). Periodicals: _Analecta
juris pontificii_, ed. by Mgr. Chaillot (1863-1889); _Analecta
ecclesiastica_ (since 1893); _Acta Sanctae sedis_ (since 1865);
_Archiv fur kathol. Kirchenrecht_ (since 1857); _Le Canoniste
contemporain_ (since 1878). (A. Bo.*)

(_Ancient Facts and Fictions concerning Churches and Tithes_, 2nd ed.,
