XVIIe SIÈCLE
SEQUENTIA DE ALMA VIRGINE LYDWINA
SÉQUENCE DE LA BIENHEUREUSE VIERGE LYDWINE
(Dom Pitra, Hollande Catholique, p. 136.)
The book condenses and comments on three contemporary hagiographies of a Dutch holy woman, combining eyewitness anecdotes, reported miraculous sufferings, and accounts of her spiritual practices. It evaluates the sources—one by a relative, one by a Franciscan who translated and enlarged the narrative, and one abridged relation—then discusses editorial choices made to reconcile inconsistent dates, repeating names, and hagiographic ordering. Alongside notes on editions and translations, the editor arranges episodes for clarity and emphasizes themes of ascetic devotion, communal testimony, and the difficulty of producing a strict chronology from devotional biography.
