This study offers a substantial introduction to the world of Catherine of Siena (1347-80), her works and the way her followers responded to her religious leadership and legacy. Although much scholarship has dealt with her visionary reputation, this volume, written by experts in Catherinian studies, highlights her image as a church reformer, peacemaker, preacher, author, holy woman, stigmatic, saint and politically astute person. Furthermore, it assesses the manuscript tradition of works by and about Catherine of Siena. Few overviews of the historical and cultural circumstances of Catherine of Siena exist in English. A Companion to Catherine of Siena, therefore, makes accessible hitherto elusive details of this Sienese saint’s life and works. Contributors include: Allison Clark Thurber, Beverly Mayne Kienzle, Blake Beattie, Carolyn Muessig, Diega Giunta, Eliana Corbari, F. Thomas Luongo, George Ferzoco, Heather Webb, Jane Tylus, Maiju Lehmijoki-Gardner, Silvia Nocentini, and Suzanne Noffke. .

La Legenda Maior è la prima agiografia di Caterina da Siena e rappresenta un testo di fondamentale importanza per lo studio della spiritualità medievale e moderna. Raimondo da Capua, suo ultimo confessore, la scrisse nel corso di dieci anni, dal 1385 al 1395, creando così un canone agiografico in cui la storia terrena della santa è impreziosita da un inquadramento teologico che trae nutrimento dalla forte spiritualità cateriniana, orientata alla mistica e accompagnata dalla tradizione erudita domenicana. L'imponenza del testo e la sua lunga gestazione gli hanno meritato l'appellativo di prolixa o maior, dimostrando quanto il confessore di Caterina, ma anche i suoi discepoli e segretari, trovassero arduo il dover illustrare, con i topoi propri dell'agiografia del loro tempo, l'esperienza divina fatta dalla santa senese e, di riflesso, da loro stessi.
