This long out-of-print biography of St. Melania provides a fascinating look into the life of one of the most influential women in early Christianity. Melania was a wealthy Roman noblewoman who devoted her life to works of charity and piety, eventually becoming a prominent representative of the ascetic movement in the church. Written by Cardinal Mariano Rampolla, this volume draws heavily on primary sources and offers an insightful analysis of Melania's legacy and impact on the church.
