Clausulae from Dominic of Prussia

Discover the 50 clausulae of Dominic of Prussia, to be inserted in the Ave of the rosary and found in the Cartusian rosary, a variant of the prayer of the rosary, proposed by the monk Dominic. These clausulae, validated by a vision of Dominic's master - Adolf of Essen - and advocated by Saint Louis-Marie Grignion de Montfort, served as inspiration for the clausulae written by Saint John Paul II.
