The True Spiritual Conferences
The twenty-one conferences of St. Francis de Sales to the nuns of the Visitation, taken down by them and published in 1629: confidence, humility, obedience, simplicity, the will of God. The French is the critical text of the Annecy edition (vol. VI) in period spelling, with the appendix of unpublished conferences and the last conference at Lyon (1622); the Gasquet and Mackey English translation (1906) is paired conference by conference.
