Note 61 — Chapter X · THE MAIN LITERARY SOURCES OF CATHERINE’S CONCEPTIONS
Reading edition
In Chapter XII, § iv, I shall show reason for strongly suspecting that Catherine possessed some knowledge, probably derived from an intermediate Christian source, of certain passages in Plato’s Dialogues. But the influence of these passages can, in any case, only be traced in her Purgatorial doctrine, and had better be discussed together with this doctrine itself.
