In Prümmer's Catalogue and Haringer's Index
- [**: weighty, probabilist, the 1884 editor's sign] “Struggl Marcus M., outstanding theologian from the Order of Servants of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Moral Theology according to the Sacred Canons and Approved Authors, etc., 1758.” — Haringer's index of writers (Gury-Ballerini) (p. XXIX, sign read on the page)
This writer is one the 1884 editor added to Haringer's list (printed in italics); the sign is the editor's, not Haringer's report of St. Alphonsus.
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.
