Description
Excerpt from The Life of Saint Philip Neri: Apostle of Rome, and Founder of the Congregation of the Oratory; From the Italian of Father Bacci of the Roman Oratory
After a space of thirty-four years this second edition has been long out of print, and is rarely to be met with. A new impression being a desideratum for the devotees of the Saint, it has been thought advisable to reprint the Fifth and Sixth Books and the Letters, and make two volumes of the work.
The miracles are of themselves most interesting reading, and, moreover, give a graphic picture of Italian life in the beginning of the seventeenth century; they also help us to understand better the rapid increase of devotion to St. Philip in Italy.
