Later edition (first, 1652). This edition was brought out by the Abbess and nuns of the Convent of St Sofia, where the remains of Beatrice d'Este I (c. 1192-1226) were venerated. The preface is signed by the Abbess, Suor Quieta. “Her body after death was translated to the church of Santa Sophia at Padua and it was a tradition that when anything important was about to befall the family of Este, she turned in her grave so that the noise was audible throughout the church.” (Catholic Encyclopedia)
