H. investigates A.'s influence on Catherine's letters and 'Dialogo' and shows that the 'nouerim me, nouerim té of Soliloquia' II, i, 1 and the use of knowledge of the soul as a means to ascend to God (Soliloquia I, xv, 27), as well as several other passags from A.'s works, directly influence the fourteenth-century Sienese saint. |
