In Prümmer's Catalogue and Haringer's Index
- “Mercorus, Iul., O.P., Italian (d. 1669), wrote the work entitled Basis totius theologiae moralis, in folio, Mantua 1658. He attacks lax opinions proposed by Escobar, Caramuel, Pasqualigo, and others. Hence it happened that afterward he had to publish several other little works in order to defend himself against the attacks of adversaries.” — Prümmer, Catalogue of authors
- [+*: rigid] “Mercorus Iulius, Dominican, most keen champion of the rigid opinion, died 1658.” — Haringer's index of writers (Gury-Ballerini) (p. XXIV, sign read on the page)
His Moral System, as Our Authors Report It
Every report quoted in the author's own words and linked to its place; point at a name to see his words. Haringer's signs give St. Alphonsus's judgment as Haringer found it in St. Alphonsus's works (his notice, Gury-Ballerini, 1884, p. XI); a sign on a writer the 1884 editor added to the list is the editor's own, and is said to be his.
