The 'Life and Doctrine of Saint Catherine of Genoa' is a biography of the fifteenth century Catholic visionary saint, Caterina Fieschi Adorno, who combined a seemingly limitless intense mystical devotion to Christ with a sweet, humble and obedient nature, and who is noted for her selfless ministrations to the poor and sick. This version of her Life and teachings was translated into English in 1873, from an Italian text largely produced by the spiritual director of her later years, Father Marabotto. This volume also contains her 'Spiritual dialogue between the soul, the body, self-love, the spirit, humanity, and the Lord God' and 'Treatise on Purgatory'.
