The Letters of St. Catherine of Siena

St. Catherine of Siena

This book is in Italian.

The letters of St. Catherine of Siena (1347-1380) in Niccolò Tommaseo’s edition, edited by Piero Misciattelli (Siena 1913-1922), with the editor’s notes and summaries: to Raymond of Capua, to Gregory XI and Urban VI, to the Florentines, to her mother Lapa, to her disciples and many others. It holds the letters transcribed so far on Italian Wikisource (the Misciattelli numbering); the remaining letters of the epistolary are not yet imported. A selection in English is in the Scudder book of the same work.

Contents

Source: Each letter page with its heading, the editor’s summary and Tommaseo’s footnotes (kept as footnotes). Only the letters transcribed on Wikisource are here; the six-volume Misciattelli OCR on archive.org (lelettere01cath to lelettere06cath) has the rest, with the footnotes interleaved in the text, and was not imported. Wikisource paragraph breaks across pages were rejoined by script.
