Sant’Angelo di Sicilia: Studio sulla vita, devozione, folklore
Trattazione esauriente dei problemi relativi al Santo Martire sepolto a Licata: composizioni letterarie della vita, culto, iconografia, folklore. 20 tavole fuori testo e 2 cartine geografiche arricchiscono il volume.
La monografia si presenta di vaste proporzioni (circa 350 pagine) perché è impegnata in complicati problemi relativi al santo ed alla ricca documentazione raccolta con la più vigile accuratezza… Lo studio… risulta obiettivo, perché cerca soprattutto di sapere la verità dei fatti, qualunque essa sia.

Chiara impostazione dei problemi e ampia la loro soluzione mediante tutto il materiale disponibile, raccolto, ordinato e vagliato con sicuro metodo e rara perizia. — Ephemerides carmeliticae, 14 (1963), 253.
One more aspect of the unhappy conflict between the Carmelites and the Bollandists in the seventeenth century is hereby closed and for all. The author’s documentation of the pertinent aspects of this controversy makes interesting and instructive reading. — The Catholic Historical Review, Apr. 1963, p. 93.
Les pages consacrées par le P. Saggi à l’historiographie de saint Ange retracent les principaux épisodes du conflit survenu entre les Bollandistes, surtout les PP. Papebroch et Henschen, et les historiens carmes. Plusieurs pièces inédites sont versées à ce dossier… Vraiment si le grand bollandiste que fut le P. Delehaye… vivait encore, il se réjouirait de pouvoir applaudir parmi les fils spirituels des anciens adversaires du P. Papebroch, non seulement un Nicodème, mais un champion décidé de la vérité et de la critique historiques.
Nouvelle Revue Théologique, 16 Juil. 1963, p. 777.
El trabajo del P. Saggi está realizado con la más rigurosa técnica de historiador … En realidad, lo que queda históricamente es muy poco… Está uno tentado a preguntarse después del esfuerzo realizado por el autor y de la presentación magnifica del mismo, que cui bono? Pero no perdamos de vista la importancia relativa y de conjunto que estos trabajos llevan consigo, y lo que facilitan a otras investigaciones, aunque sólo fuese por su ejemplaridad.

ill.-rstampa anastatica (aprile 2014). The book thus opens with a broad sweep covering the historical and religious environment of the eleventh to thirteenth centuries in 170 pages. It is not unlike that undertaken by, for example, Franco Dal Pino in his history of the Servites and indeed Mosca acknowledges his debt to him, though not to his work on the Servites (p.123, note 92). This chapter concentrates on juridical themes and on the founders and early rules closest to those of the Carmelites (p.140). This sort of synthesis is perhaps the most difficult form of history- writing, but the result is not very satisfactory. Much of it simply summarises the readily available work of others and Mosca constructs a deceptively simple and beguiling view of the medieval church. For example, the role of the papacy is modelled using normative texts without acknowledging the difficulties of implementation (on p.115 he records simply that the “verdict of the papal tribunal could substitute a government, or transfer its power,” as though this would not have been controversial). This section is also marked by an extraordinary absence of women, included only as an afterthought on pages 169-170.
