St. Catherine of Genoa

The Spiritual Dialogue between the Soul, the Body, Self-love, the Spirit, Humanity and the Lord God, attributed to St. Catherine of Genoa and printed with her Life in 1551: in three parts, her worldly entanglements and conversion, the sublime perfection of the spiritual life, and the divine love with its effects. Scholars attribute the second and third parts largely to the hand of her disciple Battista Vernazza, working from Catherine’s teaching. English translation of 1874 (21, 11 and 13 chapters). The Italian original exists only in long-s OCR of the 1590 and 1743 prints and is not yet imported.

Source: The argument and the three parts of the Spiritual Dialogue (21, 11 and 13 chapters) with their rubrics. Attribution: the work is traditionally ascribed to Catherine; the second and third parts are widely held to be by Battista Vernazza.
