St. Lydwine of Schiedam
The life of the paralysed mystic Lydwine of Schiedam (1380-1433), whom Thomas knew of and wrote up from the earlier life by Jan Brugman, in two parts: her sufferings and virtues, and her spiritual consolations, ecstasies and death, with the miracles recorded after it. The Latin is Pohl's edition (Opera omnia VI, 1905, from a raw OCR of the printed volume); the English is V. Scully (1912), made from it and following its chapters.
Contents
Source: Prologue and the 23 + 33 chapters in two parts, with Pohl's chapter titles taken from the chapter heads and recased. Line numbers, running heads and page breaks stripped by script; Pohl's critical footnotes and the epilegomena are not imported. Raw OCR: drop capitals at chapter openings eat the first letters of the opening lines; common slips and the line-start fragments were repaired by script against a lexicon of the Latin corpus, but some remain. · The prologue and 23 chapters of Part I and the prologue and 33 chapters of Part II, plus the closing miracles. The translator's introduction is not imported. Raw OCR: the translator's footnotes stand inline at the end of their paragraphs or pages, and hyphenations at line ends may remain.
