St. Catherine of Siena

A selection of sixty-odd letters of St. Catherine of Siena (1347-1380) in English by Vida D. Scudder (1905), arranged by period of her life and linked by Scudder’s narrative and headnotes: letters to her mother, her brothers and her friends, to Raymond of Capua, to Gregory XI and Urban VI, to the Florentines, to the Queen of Naples, and the accounts of her last years. Several letters are abridged. It is a selection, not the epistolary, and does not follow the chapters of the Italian Lettere (not yet imported in full).

Source: Scudder’s introduction, her two chronologies, and each letter with its headnote; the section headings and narrative between letters open the first letter of each section. The tables of contents and of persons addressed are not imported.
