Elizabeth Evelinge, now firmly believed to have been the translator
of The admirable life of the holy virgin S. Catharine of Bologna,
entered the English Poor Clare monastery in Gravelines in 1620.
After ongoing dissension at Gravelines, along with Catharine
Bentley (originally believed to be the translator) she founded a
new cloister at Aire. Evelinge served as abbess here for 25 years.
Her 1621 translation of Catharine of Bologna's life and Spiritual
weapons, with their exemplary advice about how to survive the
temptations and conflicts of cloistered life, aimed at assisting
the troubled English Poor Clares in their time of need. Whether
designed to further the Franciscan cause within the cloister or
simply to offer solace, the translation of this text occurred
because of the dissension in the house at Gravelines. Moreover, it
is possible that Catharine of Bologna represented so compelling a
model of Poor Clare spirituality that Elizabeth Evelinge, whose
piety and talents mirrored those of her subject, deemed herself too
humble to ascribe her intellectual achievements to herself, which
led to the debate about who translated the text.
