Maria Maddalena de' Pazzi: Selected Revelations (Classics of Western Spirituality)
The latest addition to the heroic and long-running series "Classics of Western Spirituality" sheds new light on an important but little-known 16th-century Italian nun whose near-ecstatic, dictated writings--digressive and effusive in the extreme--have an oddly modern, stream-of-consciousness feel. Scholars and historians should delight in the recovery of this rich and strange trove of mystical writing from the late Renaissance. For collections where historical mysticism has proved popular.Copyright 2000 Reed Business Information, Inc.
