Archival Overview

Franciscan tertiary and mystical teacher whose 'Book of Visions and Instructions' (Memorial) mapped thirty steps of spiritual transformation into the suffering Christ.

Biographical Record

Angela of Foligno (1248–1309 CE) was a wealthy Italian noblewoman who underwent a profound spiritual awakening in 1285 after tragic personal bereavements.

Giving away her estates to become a Franciscan tertiary, she dictated her interior spiritual journey to her confessor, earning from later popes the title 'Teacher of Theologians' for her apophatic insights.
