Maria Maddalena de’Pazzi: the Making of a Counter-Reformation Saint by Clare Copeland (Oxford, £55). When it comes to early modern Carmelite nuns, Teresa of Avila tends, quite rightly, to secure most of the headlines. We should not forget Pazzi, however. Clare Copeland’s meticulously researched volume explores Pazzi’s remarkable spiritual odyssey, takes us inside Florentine convent culture and traces how Pazzi’s legacy was curated. A treat for students of the spiritual tradition within the Counter-Reformation Church and of great interest to anyone curious about how Catholicism has regarded saintliness through the ages.
