Tommaso Caffarini's Supplement to the Legend
Libellus de supplemento legende prolixe virginis beate Catherine de Senis, de Tommaso Caffarini
A supplement to the Legenda maior composed around 1412–1418 by the Sienese Dominican Tommaso Caffarini, who had known Catherine. It adds episodes, disciples' testimonies and documents on her stigmata and penitential life, in the service of the canonisation cause Caffarini promoted in Venice. Together with the Legenda minor, an abridged version of Raymond's work, it spread her cult in northern Italy.
