Treated under the broader heading Pride — Wouters, Manual of Moral Theology · Bucceroni, Institutions of Moral Theology · Gury-Ballerini, Compendium of Moral Theology (8th ed., 1884) · Tanquerey · Koch–Preuss · Vermeersch, Theologia Moralis · Prümmer, Manuale Theologiae Moralis · Merkelbach, Pastoral Questions · Sabetti-Barrett, Compendium of Moral Theology · Spirago — these works do not divide the matter as finely as we do here, so their treatment stands one heading up (ed.)
