Vita della B. Rita da Cassia, dell'Ordine di S. Agostino, Raccolta, e descritta da F. Agostino Cavallucci da Fuligno Agostiniano Baccelliere in Sacra Teologia, Curato, e Custode dell'honorata Compagnia de' Centurati di S. Agostino della Cit
4to. pp. (16), 123, (3). With engraved portrait of Rita on title page. 18th C patterned boards with vellum spine. First edition of the first biography of Rita da Cascia, the patron saint of impossible causes, abused wives, and heartbroken women. The victim of an abusive husband, Rita managed not only to convert her vicious spouse into an observant Catholic, but also to quell the blood feud which had been plaguing his family. Composed long before her beatification, the title-page nevertheless refers to her as already ‘blessed.’
