by Frederick W. Faber (Author), Vatican Canonization Archives (Author)

This large print edition is a faithful reproduction of this book's Fourth American Edition, with an 1855 imprimatur from Bishop John N. Neumann of Philadelphia. Father Frederick W. Faber took the material for this biography from the Vatican's files for the canonization of Saint Rose of Lima. However, Father Faber further enriches the Vatican's biographical evidence with his own penetrating spiritual insights and lucid, flowing prose.
