Catherine of Siena : The Dialogue (Classics of Western Spirituality) by SR. SUSAN NOFFKE, SUZANNE NOFFKE, CATHERINE OF SIENA, CATHERINE OF SIENA - April 1980

Paulist Press, April 1980. Paper Back. Very Good. Twenty-fourth of twenty-five children born to an Italian clothdyer in 1347, Catherine packed many lifetimes and many personae into her short lifetime of thirty-three years: servant of the poor, major player in papal politics, leader of Dominican nuns, mystic. Catherine wrote this narrative as a result of a five-day vision; it is our chief evidence for Catherine's place as one of only three women (soon Therese of Lisieux will join that company) to be declared ''Doctor'' by the Roman Church. Preface by Giuliana Cavollini. Previous owner inscription on title page. Light rubbing to covers. Text pristine, binding firm.
