The Life of St. Philip Neri: Books I and II - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

The Life of St. Philip Neri by Fr. Pietro Giacomo Bacci was published in 1622, just 27 years after St. Philip's death in 1595. Fr. Bacci was a member of the Roman Oratory, the Congregation founded by St. Philip, and he based his book on the Processes instituted for St. Philip's canonization. These Processes began just two months after Philip’s death and depended on sworn testimony from hundreds of witnesses to Philip’s extraordinary virtue and his many miracles. The Processes led to Philip’s beatification in 1615 and ultimately his canonization in 1622.While there have been many books written on St. Philip Neri, Fr. Bacci's book is a classic that has been translated into many languages and republished numerous times in the hundreds of years since St. Philip's death.This edition of The Life of St. Philip Neri is based on the 1902 revised edition of Fr. Frederick Ignatius Antrobus of the London Oratory. Minor adjustments to spelling and punctuation have been made where appropriate. Fr. Bacci's The Life of St. Philip Neri includes six books. This edition includes Books I and II and is being published as the first volume. Books III and IV will be published as the second volume, and Books V and VI as the third volume.
