Sinossi
In edizione tascabile la traduzione italiana dell'opera più importante di santa Caterina da Siena. Capolavoro della letteratura medievale, l'opera più nota di Caterina da Siena vede la luce in una nuova traduzione che rende più accessibile il suo idioma trecentesco, suddividendo in modo più chiaro il contenuto, arricchendo i vari paragrafi di note esplicative e corredando il tutto con un indice tematico per una lettura comparativa. Il testo rivela lo sforzo faticoso di sintesi delle principali idee della santa già emerse nelle numerose lettere ma anche la preoccupazione di sviluppare maggiormente la parte dottrinale ancorandola saldamente più alla sua straordinaria esperienza mistica che alla sistematicità della teologia. Queste pagine documentano infatti l'apice della sua esperienza religiosa che la introduce negli abissi della pietà divina tutta rivolta all'umanità da riscattare e riabilitare completamente. Questa nuova edizione del Libro di Caterina da Siena è stata condotta sull'ultima edizione critica del manoscritto Casanatese pubblicato da Giuliana Cavallini. Con questo volume si completano all'interno della collana Minima le opere di Caterina da Siena.

Recensioni
Second only to Divine Mercy in My Soul, this book had the greatest impact on my spiritual reformation. This opening line, God speaking to St. Catherine, captured my heart and soul: "Open the eye of your intellect, and gaze into Me, and you shall see the beauty of My rational creature." It is absolutely Leggi tutto
What a wonderful piece of spiritual reading! I picked this up once a number of years ago and found it way too dense for me, but for some reason this go-round was much easier? The difference might be Dante. Yeah. I think I can thank my high school literature teacher for assigning loads of Dante to us, Leggi tutto
I'm not sure if it was the translation I had or just my mood. But this was not an easy read. I just read it in small doses, which is why it took me so long to read it.
A vibrant simplicity, reminiscent of Augustine, at times, fills this series of treatises in which St. Catherine of Siena, Doctor of the Church and mystic hears God the Father answering her requests in order to receive help to be saved. Between the most important aspects of the books are the communit Leggi tutto
A devout work by a devout saint. 'The Dialogue of St Catherine of Siena' by the saint herself is a series of conversations with God, hence the title. They are long, but offer insights on how to grow in union with him—i.e., theosis or deification—such as by denying oneself, prayer, and ultimately know Leggi tutto
I struggled to appreciate Catherine as much as some other mystics. She has some beneficial things to say. But she also says that "[the sight of] the punishment of the damned makes the just (i.e. the saved) rejoice even more in [God's] goodness." If ever there were a description of sadism, that would Leggi tutto
St. Catherine dictated this book over the space of five days, from October 9-13, 1378. She lost the use of all of her senses, except the gift of speech. The heavenly Father spoke within her heart and she answered Him, asked Him questions, and repeated His words to her at the same time that she was a Leggi tutto
Read during my prayer time for five months and it’s five-star quality but some was so dense I couldn’t retain it (this is a nice way of saying I am too dumb to understand some of the saint’s language). It is full of wisdom for a person who wants to live for God. I was enlightened and convicted 100 t Leggi tutto
