It's the convent at Prouille that is mentioned in both the Catholic Encyclopedia and Wiki articles on St. Dominic. When I heard about it I thought it had literary potential so I wondered if it had been included in this novel.<br /><br />By the way, I think it's great you make such good use of libraries. It's easy to become lax about that when the internet is so close at hand!Marie-Jacquelinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09903909133137239574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5666114716955489883.post-88051806391287112652010-08-26T13:29:33.526-04:002010-08-26T13:29:33.526-04:00Oh dear...it's been some time now since I read...Oh dear...it's been some time now since I read it, and I don't have a copy on hand anymore to check (I had to borrow it from the library).

Thank you for that additional information!Mayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18230268418171628594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5666114716955489883.post-70455079256266981932010-08-26T13:04:30.427-04:002010-08-26T13:04:30.427-04:00Matterhorn, I was wondering: Does the novel talk ...Matterhorn, I was wondering: Does the novel talk about St. Dominic's efforts to defeat the Albigensian heresy and the small community of ex-Cathar women he established that was the origin of the Dominican Sisters?Marie-Jacquelinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09903909133137239574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5666114716955489883.post-80758766875654914802010-06-24T10:39:28.740-04:002010-06-24T10:39:28.740-04:00Thank you so much for the beautifully written revi...Thank you so much for the beautifully written review!elena maria vidalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17129629173535139807noreply@blogger.com
