Dialogues mystiques et imagerie spirituelle Le Dialogue de Catherine de Sienne dans Les sept révélations de Lucie Brocadelli

One cannot address the question of women who expressed themselves through their faith without considering the women mystics. These visionaries were renowned for their asceticism, but limited attention has been dedicated to their literary work. Among these mystics is the Dominican tertiary Catherine of Siena, author of the Dialogue. In the 16th century, Lucia Brocadelli used her Seven Revelations to reimagine the Dialogue and reinvigorate the theological message of her Medieval predecessor.
