Pratica divota per quattro venerdi’, o domeniche ad onore della nuova beata Giovanna Francesca Fremiot di Chantal fondatrice dell’Ordine della Visitazione di Santa Maria ...
An apparently unrecorded Naples edition of a set of prayers and meditations in honour of the recently beatified Jeanne Françoise de Chantal (1572–1641), co-founder, with François de Sales, of the Order of the Visitation of Holy Mary.
The text focuses on faith, hope, love of God, and love for one’s neighbour.
Chantal was beatified in November 1751 by Pope Benedict XIV and the first edition was published in Rovereto the following year. She would be canonised in 1767 by Clement XIII.
