Book excerpt: From Worldly Princess to the Foot of the CrossThe Life and Writings of Saint Camilla Battista Varano, O.S.CTranslations and introductions by Bret Thoman, O.F.S. St. Camilla Battista da Varano (1458-1524) was an erudite Poor Clare nun from central Italy. Her canonization in 2010 by Pope Benedict XVI has generated great interest in her life and writings. The daughter of a powerful Renaissance duke, Camilla grew up passionate for the courtly life. When she was a girl, however, her conversion began when she shed a little tear each Friday in memory of Christ's Passion. She entered a convent where Camilla Battista wrote extensively: spiritual exhortations, meditations, poems, letters, descriptions of her mystical experiences, an autobiography, prayers, and treatises for living the spiritual life. Because of the profundity of her writings, some theologians and cardinals who participated in her canonization process are advocating for her to be proclaimed Doctor of the Church.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: St. Camilla Battista was an Italian Poor Clare nun from the Renaissance era. She wrote that the Lord conversed with her in a familiar way, communicating to her revelations that she made known through her writings. Not only was she an extraordinary woman of culture, she was a mystic and a profound contemplative. In this comprehensive translation of her writings, the hidden saint is revealed to the English speaking world for the first time. St. Camilla Battista da Varano was the daughter of a powerful Renaissance duke, Giulio Cesare da Varano. Born in Camerino in 1458, she was raised in her father's court and came to love the things of the world. During Lent in 1466, a sermon changed the direction of her life. She began to shed a little tear each Friday in memory of Christ's Passion. This led to her profound conversion and a desire to devote herself entirely to Christ. At a young age she entered a Poor Clare monastery in Urbino that had embraced the Franciscan reform known as the Strict Observance. She took the name Sister Battista and dedicated herself to radical poverty. She founded a monastery in Camerino and became abbess. In the monastery, Sr. Battista dedicated herself to a continual suffering with Christ on the cross and became known for mystical and celestial visions. Saint Camilla was endowed with remarkable intellectual abilities. She wrote extensively, her main works being: Memories of Jesus, The Mental Sorrows of Christ in His Passion, Purity of Heart, and her autobiography. In Mental Sorrows, she describes the inner pains of the human Heart of Jesus which - St. Battista affirms - were much stronger than the physical ones. These revelations nourished her life of contemplation and, down the centuries, that of countless others. Sr. Camilla Battista died of the plague in her monastery in Camerino on March 31, 1524 at the age of 64. Pope Gregory XVI beatified her on April 7, 1843, while Pope Benedict XVI canonized her on October 17, 2010. This English edition includes a number of essays and reflections about her life. The saint's writings include all her works mentioned above, in addition to a number of poems, prayers, and other works. In the words of Pope Benedict XVI, "[You can] become better acquainted with the Saints [...] by reading their life and their writings. You may rest assured that they will become good guides in order to love the Lord even more and will contribute effective help for your human and Christian development." May the Holy Spirit enlighten the mind and inflame the hearts of readers so that, like St. Camilla Battista, they can advance more and more in the ways of contemplation.

Book excerpt: This insightful book relates how Emperor Haile Selassie helped shape America's image of Africa and how that image continues to evolve in the United States today. The Lion of Judah in the New World: Emperor Haile Selassie of Ethiopia and the Shaping of Americans' Attitudes toward Africa tells the story of a dynamic ruler who influenced the perception of an entire continent. Documenting the Emperor's state visits to North America, the book explores U.S. foreign policy towards Ethiopia and Africa over two decades. At the same time, it seeks to understand why Haile Selassie enjoyed such celebrity in the United States and how he became so important in determining U.S. attitudes toward Africa. The book includes a brief biography of the Emperor and also explores the geography and long, colorful history of Ethiopia. The tensions and contradictions that marked Haile Selassie's life are highlighted in significant episodes that underscore his astute use of public relations and personal diplomacy. His leadership of postcolonial Africa during the Cold War is examined, as is his ultimate rejection by the United States in 1973 that marked the end of the monarchy and ushered in the tragic fratricide of Ethiopian civil war.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Eleonora di Toledo was a powerful and influential woman who, over the course of nearly a quarter century (1539-62), contributed profoundly to the cultural flowering of ducal Florence. Her patronage of some of the leading artists of the time, her support of newly arrived Jesuit preachers, her involvement in charitable activities, her unfailing devotion to her husband and his policies, not to mention her successful farming and business ventures are only some of the areas where her influence was unambiguously exercised and felt. She also provided the House of Medici with a full stable of children to re-invigorate the failing family line, ensure male succession even in the face of unexpected calamities, and provide enough females to establish marriage connections with a variety of noble and ruling houses in Italy. In spite of all these contributions, Eleonora has attracted little attention from scholars. This apparent disinterest may be a factor of Eleonora's personal style, or of the bad press that, as a Spanish noblewoman, she quickly received from her Florentine subjects, or of modern antipathy for some of the basic characteristics of ducal Florence. An examination of her impact on Tuscany is long overdue. In fact, a fuller, more nuanced understanding of the duchess can shed a more profound light not only on her as a person, or on her impact on Tuscan culture in the sixteenth century, but also on the contribution of female consorts to the vitality of a successful early-modern state. The essays collected here bring together a variety of scholars working in various disciplines. While many of the articles take their cue from art history (a natural reflection of the innovative research recent art historians have carried out on the duchess), they also reach out towards other disciplines - political history, literature, spectacle, and religion to mention just a few. In so doing, they expand our understanding of Eleonora's place in her society and reveal a very complex,

Book excerpt: As the meeting point between Europe, colonial America, and Africa, the history of the Atlantic world is a constantly shifting arena, but one which has been a focus of huge and vibrant debate for many years. In over thirty chapters, all written by experts in the field, The Atlantic World takes up these debates and gathers together key, original scholarship to provide an authoritative survey of this increasingly popular area of world history. The book takes a thematic approach to topics including exploration, migration and cultural encounters. In the first chapters, scholars examine the interactions between groups which converged in the Atlantic world, such as slaves, European migrants and Native Americans. The volume then considers questions such as finance, money and commerce in the Atlantic world, as well as warfare, government and religion. The collection closes with chapters examining how ideas circulated across and around the Atlantic and beyond. It presents the Atlantic as a shared space in which commodities and ideas were exchanged and traded, and examines the impact that these exchanges had on both people and places. Including an introductory essay from the editors which defines the field, and lavishly illustrated with paintings, drawings and maps this accessible volume is invaluable reading for all students and scholars of this broad sweep of world history.
