Description
In this Classic of Western Spirituality (TM) readers will find the first English translation of the complete works of Elisabeth of Schoenau, a twelfth-century Benedictine nun who claimed to have a series of extraordinary visionary experiences.
In the complete works of Elisabeth are:

- Revelations about the Sacred Company of the Virgins of Cologne;
- The Resurrection of the Blessed Virgin;

The audience for this book will be broad:
- historians, theologians and students of
- mysticism and spirituality
- women's religious life
- monastic life
