Chapter XLIII: , pp. 115a-c, have I long hesitated to attribute (3)

Text size

[453] _Dialogo_, p. 264_b_; and here, pp. 349-351, 360.

[454] _Vita_, p. 144_c_.

[455] First seven Chapters: _Vita_, pp. 169_b_-75_c_. Last ten chapters: _Ibid._ pp. 175_c_-184_c_.

[456] See here, pp. 140, 141.

[457] Denzinger, _Enchiridion Definitionum_, ed. 1888, p. 178, No. 38: “Animae in Purgatorio non sunt securae de earum salute saltem omnes; nec probatum est, ullis aut rationibus aut Scripturis, ipsas esse extra statum merendi aut augendae charitatis.”

[458] His Epitaph, in the Church of the Annunciation, at Sturla, just outside Genoa, is given in full in Pescetto’s _Biografia Medica Ligure_, Genova, 1846, p. 104.

[459] MS. A, p. 348 = Pr. L., 155_b_, 156_b_.

[460] Pr. _Vita_, pp. 155_b_, _c_, 156_a_.

[461] _Padre_: pp. 117_b_, 118_b_; _Figliuolo_, pp. 99_b_; 94_b_, _c_, 95_a_, _b_; 122_c_.

[462] _Madre_, pp. 98_c_; 94_b_, _c_, 95_a_, _b_ (twice).

[463] _Vita_, pp. 50_b_, 37_a_-38_a_; 61_c_, 62_a_; 83_a_; 92_a_.

[464] _Vita_, pp. 53_a_, 76_c_, 73_a_.

[465] _Vita_, pp. 4_b_, 151_b_.

[466] I derive all these titles from the Documents in the Curia Arcivescovile of Genoa already referred to. The Editions 1568, 1601, I have examined in the Ambrosian Library, Milan.

[467] The Bull is given in full by Fr. Sticker: _Acta Sanctorum_, Sept., Vol. V, ed. 1866, pp. 181 F-188 A. See there, p. 183 B, E. In the former passage the double description is rightly attributed to the same event; and the contradiction between them is ably eliminated by the Bull’s words: “She seemed to herself to behold the image of the suffering Saviour” (instead of _Vita_, p. 5_b_, “affixed to the Cross”); and, in the latter passage, the description of her poverty is kept free from the extravagances of the _Dialogo_, pp. 220_c_, 221_c_.
