Discover the dyer's daughter from fourteenth-century Siena who counseled popes, brought the papacy home from Avignon, and left one of the great spiritual classics of the Christian tradition.

Catherine of Siena lived only thirty-three years, but in that span she rose from a small cell off her family's kitchen to become a Doctor of the Church, a counselor to popes and queens, and the author of one of the most widely read mystical works of the medieval tradition. The Wisdom of Catherine of Siena: The Inner Chamber of Self-Knowledge traces her life from the dyer's quarter of plague-stricken Siena to the antechamber of the pope at Avignon and her last months in Rome during the Western Schism. With patient care and contemplative prose, it opens for the modern reader the heart of her teaching: the cell of self-knowledge in which the soul learns to know itself in God.
