Posthumous work
First and Last Notebooks (Supernatural Knowledge)
La Connaissance surnaturelle
It opens with the 'Prologue', an allegorical account of an encounter with a stranger who takes her to an attic and then sends her away. The notebooks extend the Marseille meditations toward Trinitarian theology, creation as God's renunciation, the Passion and the folklore of peoples, with growing intensity in her last months.
