Über den Autor


Edmund G. Gardner's classic work on Catherine of Siena is still one of the most important biographies ever written of a medieval saint. Originally published in 1907, Gardner was the professor of Italian at Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge. He wrote many other books over a long career, on Dante, English mystics, Arthurian legends, and Italian Renaissance painters. He also wrote for the Catholic Encyclopedia, which was at the height of its groundbreaking compilation from 1907-14, the years of Gardner's most creative activity.
