Perhaps the best known of Bernard of Bologna's writings in the "Bibliotheca Scriptorum O. Min. S. Francisci Cap.", a work which resembles Wadding's well-known "Scriptores Ord. Min." It was published at Venice in 1747, and a n appendix appeared at Rome in 1852. Besides this work Bernard wrote an elementary treatise on philosophy according to Duns Scotus entitled "Institutio Philosophica praemittenda theologiae" (Venice, 1766), and a treatise on dogmatic theology, "Institutio Th eologica" (Venice, 1746). He is also the author of a "Phrasarium S. Scripturae" composed for the use of preachers and authors.
