The Raccolta: Or, Collection Of Indulgenced Prayers Compiled By T. Galli, Tr. By A. St. John. Authorised Transl is an English translation of the Catholic devotional collection of indulgenced prayers. The Raccolta is presented here as a translation of the Italian Raccolta delle Indulgenze, prepared for English-speaking readers by Ambrose St John, a priest of the Oratory of St. Philip Neri in Birmingham, with collaboration from Edward Caswall. The volume compiles prayers and pious exercises that carry Papal indulgences granted across centuries, touching a wide range of devotions—from the Most Holy Trinity and Marian prayers to the Rosary, the Via Crucis, chaplets (especially the Five Wounds and Precious Blood), the Blessed Sacrament, the Sacred Heart, and many novenas. It includes translator’s Prefaces, rubrical notes, historical notices, and the full text of decrees and rescripts that authorize the indulgences. An extensive index assembles the prayers and their associated indulgences, offering practical guidance for private devotion and suffrage for the dead, as authorized by the Holy See.
