Medieval Library

One of the most revered holy women of the Catholic Church, Saint Catherine of Siena was a fourteenth century mystic. She swiftly gained a wide reputation for her holiness and severe asceticism. In her early twenties she experienced a “spiritual espousal” to Christ and was moved to serve the poor and sick, winning many disciples in the process. Dictated while she was in ecstasy, her ‘Dialogue of Divine Providence’ is an undoubted masterpiece of medieval literature. The record of her ecstatic experiences illustrates her doctrine of the “inner cell” of the knowledge of God and of self into which she withdrew. Delphi’s Medieval Library provides eReaders with rare and precious works of the Middle Ages, with noted English translations and the original texts. This eBook presents Catherine’s collected works, with illustrations, informative introductions and the usual Delphi bonus material. (Version 1) * Beautifully illustrated with images relating to
