The Salesian Bulletin is a publication of the Salesians that was founded in 1877 by Don Bosco. It has been published without interruption since then. The proliferation of the educational works of Don Bosco in the five continents, is the first responsible of the survival of the Salesian Bulletin. As for 2010, the Bulletin was published in 56 different editions and 29 languages for 135 countries.[1]
1875 to 1888
The Bulletin was published by Don Bosco in 1875 under the name Bibliofilo Cattolico, Bollettino Salesiano Mensuale (The Catholic Book Lover - Salesian Monthly Bulletin). His intention was to keep communication between the new Salesian works abroad and Turin. The first bulletins were published in Italian.
In 1878 Don Bosco changed the original name, Bibliofilo Cattolico, to Salesian Bulletin, the name that will be kept. After 1879 the Bulletin is made in other languages other than Italians to reach readers in those countries were the Salesians were working. The first language was French, followed by Spanish in 1886. Don Bosco died early 1888 and the continuity of the publication passed to his successors.
1888 to 1927
There are new editions in other languages: In English in 1892, after German, Polish and Hungarian.
