St. Catherine of Genoa

This book is in Italian.

The Treatise on Purgatory of St. Catherine of Genoa (1447-1510): the divine fire she felt in herself made her understand the state of the souls in purgatory, content in their suffering, consumed with the love of God and wishing only to be wholly purified. In nineteen chapters, in the modernised Italian of Documenta Catholica Omnia, which does not name its edition. The English translation of 1874 has seventeen chapters and is a separate book.
