The Mystical City of God
in four volumes by Venerable Mary of Agreda was translated into
English from the original Spanish by Fr. George J. Blatter (Fiscar Marison-his
nom de plume) and published by him in 1912 with the imprint of the
Theopolitan Company of Chicago, composed of Fr. Blatter, his brother, and some
friends for purposes of disseminating the book. In 1929, Mr. Louis W. Bernicken
assumed publication of the four volumes, and in 1949 this work was taken over by
Mr. Harry D. Corcoran of Albuquerque, New Mexico under the name of the Corcoran
Publishing Co. In 1971 rights to the book were purchased by Ave Maria Institute
(the Blue Army) of Washington, New Jersey, the present publisher.
This popular abridgement of the four-volume work was compiled,
it is believed, by Fr. Cassian Burgert, O.F.M. Cap. And was published by Mr.
Bernicken. It had gone through five printings of about 1,000 copies each by the
time of the printing of this paper bound edition.
