| Summary |
For the first time, Elizabeth Lopez's 1994 masterwork on Colette of Corbie is available in a superb English translation. This important work fills a gap in the history of Franciscan women during the late Medieval period and specifically of the Poor Clares, whose diversity, spiritual creativity and influence have been emphasized by recent European scholarship.-- Provided by Publisher |
