About this book
Letters of Catherine Benincasa is by Catherine of Siena. The contents list gives, among others, the titles To Monna Alessa dei Saracini, To Benincasa her brother, when he was in Florence, and To the Venerable Religious, Brother Antonio of Nizza.
A passage says that Catherine’s letters on public affairs, historical documents of recognised importance, give us her practical programme. The passage names three chief issues: the absence of the Pope from Italy, the rebellion of the Tuscan cities, headed by Florence, against his authority, and at a later time the great Schism. A passage says the speaker perceives that those humble words proceeded rather from fear and policy than from a real impulse of love and virtue. A passage says: as you are a man in promising the will to do and bear for the honour of God, do not turn into a woman when we come to the shutting of the lock.
