Below is a list of the main editorial series edited by Edizioni Marianum.
Proceedings of the International Mariology Symposiums (SIM)

This series, edited by the Historical Institute of the Order of the Servants of Mary since 2001, is the successor to the series of the same name published between 1897 and 1930. It follows the renewed positivist historiography of the nineteenth century, harking back to the “Monumenta Germaniae Historica” and following the example of other religious orders. The new series features sources for the history of the Servants of Mary, accompanied by the necessary critical apparatus.

Series “Communicantes. Nova Series”
The series, edited by the International Liturgical Commission OSM (CLIOS), aims to foster a thorough understanding of the message of a memorial or liturgical feast of the Order through an in-depth study of the relevant liturgical texts. The goal is to grasp the spiritual values and evangelical traits that characterized the lives of the saints and blesseds celebrated. The various contributions that comprise the various volumes are organized into a primarily informative section, including a reference bibliography and biographical notes. This is followed by the actual study of the liturgy and, where possible, the iconographic production related to the subject studied.
