St. Bridgett's "Revelations" - non-translated

[LaramieHirsch]

Does anyone know the original language of St. Bridgett’s work Revelations?

Does anyone know if a copy of that untranslated work is online?

It was in Latin. Have a look here: http://www.umilta.net/birgitta.html

Books I, II and V of the Revelationes were written in Sweden with the assistance of Magister Mathias and the approval of Bishop Hemming who took Book I to the Pope in Avignon and to the Kings of England and France in 1347. Book III mainly dates from the Rome period, 1349-73, Book VII from the Holy Land, 1372-73, these later books, apart from the Extravagantes of Book X, were edited by the Spanish Bishop Hermit Alfonso of Jaén. The Extravagantes was compiled in Sweden following Birgitta’s death and canonization and included material that was either unavailable to Alfonso or which was too risky for him to include. Book XI, The Book of the Angel, was composed by Birgitta and Magister Petrus Olavi in Rome. http://www.umilta.net/bk.html
