AB Maria Maddalena de' Pazzi (1566-1607) spent most of her life as an enclosed nun in the Carmelite monastery of S. Maria degli Angeli in Florence. There she claimed to experience a remarkable range and number of ecstasies and visions; she received the stigmata, was mystically married to Christ, and re-enacted the Passion several times. This is the first book-length study of Maria Maddalena's life, cult, and cause for canonization. Whereas the Carmelite mystic nun Teresa of Avila is very well known, Maria Maddalena has received much less attention. Yet her life and afterlife provide compelling insights into convent culture and the place of mystical spirituality in the Counter-Reformation; how official saints were made during a period of major reform to the formal canonization process; and how people came to call on someone as an intercessor
