The present work is a contribution to the history of the Sodality of Our Lady. To satisfy a natural curiosity about the �������Mother and head������� of all Sodalities, its history, which lay hidden in the archives, had to be drawn out and set forth. The reason why this has been done in a monograph, rather than as part of a larger work, comprehensive of the whole Sodality field or at least of the Sodalities of Rome, is the great importance of the Prima Primaria in itself.
