{L976} I wish to express my appreciation for those who have made the publication of this book possible. My editors, David Hazen and Marie Jutras, have made invaluable suggestions. Mary Clare Piecynski has worked tirelessly on the internal editing and layout of the book while Jennifer Bitler designed the cover. Louise Toft prepared the general index. Ann Moore and Robert Rodgers have facilitated the publication process. Most especially, I would like to thank Marcus Grodi for the original inspiration to translate and comment on St. Ignatius and St. Polycarp.
