I FINALLY have this book. Index shows there are too many entries on Catherine of Siena for me to keep count of, including:

anorectic?
blood as dominant symbol
on cross-dressing
devotion to the Circumcision
drinking pus
fasting
on Jesus as a mother
rebellion against family
stigmata
visions


as well as my other favorite saint, Christina the Astonishing (including notes on lactation miracles) and sections on cannibalism. I can’t wait.

(see the whole book list here)
