About this book
“Of a truth there is no other straight way than that which followeth My footsteps.” — Angela of Foligno
In 1291 a widow of Foligno set out on pilgrimage to Assisi, and on the road she heard a voice: “I am the Holy Spirit, who am come unto thee.” What followed, years of penance and temptation, visions of God as goodness, beauty and love, and teaching that earned her the name “teacher of theologians,” she told to her kinsman and confessor, Brother Arnaldo, who wrote it down.
The result is one of the great books of medieval mysticism and a treasure of Franciscan spirituality.
This edition reprints Mary G. Steegmann’s 1909 translation of the old Italian version, with Algar Thorold’s introduction, the Italian translator’s preface, facsimiles of the woodcuts of 1536 and a new Note to This Edition.
