Biography of Catherine of Siena

[vince2paul]

Does anyone know any books or website about her? I’m looking for a complete biography of her.

I just heard from a friend about her and it’s quite interesting. Thanks.

I just googled a few, but not sure if you had already looked at them.

1- siena.org/

Catherine of Siena institute - contact them to see if they have any good books on the Saint.

or church after her name: catherineofsiena.com/

2 - Book: The Life of Catherine of Siena by Raymond of Capua.

Have you checked TAN books? I know they have a book about her, & I think also one by her.
HTH!

Hm… I need to check that out.
Btw, I actually want to get the story when she had a dialogue with the pope and cardinals. Thanks.

Thanks also to water for providing the links, I knew some, and some are new to me. Thank you.

I have a book called Catherine of Sienna: Passion for the Truth, Compassion for Humanity. It contains selected spiritual writings including her letters, prayers and The Dialogue.

I would recommend the book by Raymond of Capua mentioned by the second poster. Raymond of Capua was actually the spiritual director of Saint Catherine of Sienna. I have read this book three or four times over the years, and I am not the only one who considers this book one of the greatest saint’s lives ever written.
