16mo. pp. (12) 164, (2) including engraved frontispiece, signed Sellent. Bound in contemporary vellum boards, reattached very likely to original binding, newer titling to spine. First edition. Rare life of the saint, doctor of the church, and Dominican tertiary Catherine of Siena (1347-1380). Its final chapter includes a description of recent promotions of devotions to the saint, particularly in Barcelona and among the Dominican Order of which the author was a member. In a portrait frontispiece, Catherine, who is depicted contemplating a crucifix, is noted to be “special advocate for obtaining the holy sacraments for the dying”, and to the verso of the title page is a demonstration that with the change of an h to an e, SANCTA CATHARINA DE SENIS is an anagram of NATA EST SCIENS ARCANA DEI (‘the one who knows the secrets of God is born’). The book ends with prayers and responses.
