The Probation

St. Mary Magdalene de' Pazzi

This book is in Italian.

The fourth of the original manuscript books, compiled by Sister Maria Pacifica del Tovaglia and others: the five years of the "probation" (1585-1590), the trial of aridity, temptation and abandonment by which God purifies Sister Maria Maddalena, and the second part (1590-1600) with the ecstasies of her last years. Critical edition in Tutte le opere, vols. V-VI (Florence: CIL, 1965). One chapter per year, long sections divided; the editors' glosses stay in square brackets.
