Publisher's Synopsis
The Mirror of the Sinful Soul is a religious text written by Queen Margaret of Navarre in the 16th century. The book is written in the form of a dialogue between the author and her soul, in which she reflects on her own sins and the temptations of the world. The book is divided into three parts, each of which focuses on a different aspect of sin and redemption. The first part explores the nature of sin and how it separates us from God, while the second part delves into the ways in which we can overcome sin through prayer and penance. The final part of the book is a meditation on the love of God and the hope of salvation. Throughout the book, Queen Margaret draws on biblical and theological sources to support her reflections, and provides a powerful and moving account of the struggle against sin and the quest for spiritual purity. The Mirror of the Sinful Soul is a classic of Christian literature, and remains a valuable resource for anyone seeking to deepen their understanding of the nature of sin and the path to redemption.A Prose Translation From The French Of A Poem By Queen Margaret Of Navarre, Made In 1544 By The Princess (Afterwards Queen) Elizabeth, Then Eleven Years Of Age.
