 | | The Order of Preachers (Ordo Praedicatorum), more commonly known as the Dominican Order, or Dominicans is a Catholic religious order. |
 | | In England and some other countries the Dominicans are referred to as Blackfriars on account of the fl cappa or cloak they wear over their white habits, just as the Carmelites are known as "Whitefriars" for the same reason. |
 | | In 1910 the order had twenty archbishops or bishops, one of whom, Andreas Frühwirth, formerly master general (1892-1902), was Apostolic nuncio at Munich (Sanvito, Catalogus omnium provinciarum sacri ordinis praedicatorum, Rome, 1910; Analecta O. Rome, 1893--; L'Année Dominicaine, Paris, 1859--). |
