Angela of Foligno

Blessed Angela of Foligno (c.1248-1309), while not widely known, is one of the most outstanding, most brilliant representatives of 13th-century Italian mysticism. In this excellent translation, Lachance provides an comprehensive introduction that summarizes Angela's inner journey, spirituality, and influence that will reach readers of medieval and women's visionary literature, feminists, and historians, as well as its usual devotional reading audience.
