Synopsis
The Consolation of the Blessed is the story of women saints in the thirteenth century in Italy: "The Italian women saints inherited an oral tradition, passed on to them in the sermons they heard and in the stories they told each other, and they became so important in their societies that their lives were written down, and their visions, in which they elaborated and relived the stories they had heard, were thus preserved for us." The lives include the Vitae of Blessed Gherardesca of Pisa, St. Umilta and Blessed Margaret of Faenza and Blessed Aldobrandesca of Siena, from the Latin texts of the Acta Sanctorum (begun by the Belgian Boliandist Fathers in the 17th c., based on lives composed soon after the deaths of the holy women).
