St. Catherine of Genoa

The Treatise on Purgatory of St. Catherine of Genoa: the divine fire that she felt in herself made her understand the state of the souls in purgatory, who are consumed with the love of God, content in the torment, and wish only to be wholly purified. The 1874 English translation in seventeen chapters; the Italian text, in nineteen chapters, is a separate book.
