- St. Robert Bellarmine Disputatione de controversiis.
The Historical Archive of the PUG preserves copies of one of its most emblematic works, the Controversies. The drafting of the manuscripts lasted years and presents numerous revisions always by the hand of Cardinal Bellarmine (1542-1621).
Bellarmine wrote these volumes while giving lectures on Controversy (1576-1587) at the Roman College. After the first incomplete editions, the work saw the light with revisions by the author in 1596 in Venice. The success of this work, which represents the attempt to systematize the various theological controversies of the time, is documented by numerous subsequent editions.
