1 A rough summary of the statistics of Traditio's patterns of publication, through volume 49, reveals the character of the journal. It has published, in those years, some 485 articles, 243 miscellaneous notes and 39 bibliographical surveys — an average of ten articles and five miscellaneous notes per volume. These can be broken down by traditional “fields” of scholarship as follows:Google Scholar

2 The first volume of Traditio was dedicated to Giovanni Cardinal Mercati, the great humanist and prefect of the Vatican Library, who had himself protected and supported a number of German émigré scholars during the early years of World War II. That volume also bore the imprimatur of Francis Cardinal Spellman, Roman Catholic archbishop of New York.Google Scholar

10 It need hardly be pointed out that the cost of producing Traditio, and the price charged subscribers, have both risen dramatically in fifty years. From 1943 until 1953, a volume of Traditio cost $6.50, and remained close to that price, at $6.70, until 1959. From 1960 to 1966, a volume cost $8.00; it rose to $9.50 in 1967, to $11.00 in 1968–70, and to $13.50 in 1971–72. Since 1972, the price has not been printed in the journal: a sign, perhaps, of the discretion of that year's new managing editor, George Fletcher, but also a hint of the inescapable reality of inflation.Google Scholar
