Le livre des visions et instructions de la bienheureuse Angèle de Foligno Traduit par Ernest Hello avec avertissement de Georges Goyau, de l'Académie française

In this richly layered work, a 14th‑century mystic’s visions and personal instructions are brought to life through a careful French translation that respects the original spirit while rendering the language vivid for modern ears. Listeners are guided through the saint’s intimate dialogues with the divine, her contemplations on prayer, and the practical counsel she offered to those seeking a deeper communion with God. Interwoven with these spiritual passages are scholarly notes that trace the manuscript’s transmission, offering a glimpse into the painstaking effort of preserving her legacy.

Beyond the mystical, the book reflects on the broader social meaning of sacred rest, presenting the Sunday Sabbath as both a divine command and a unifying day for workers and believers alike. The translator’s prefatory reflections connect this historic devotion to contemporary calls for dignity and solidarity, making the centuries‑old teachings feel surprisingly relevant today.
