Delicious entertainments of the soule is a translation of a
collection of conferences which Francis de Sales held for the Order
of the Sisters of the Visitation. This order took the form of an
institute for young girls and widows who wanted to enter a convent
but lacked the strength or the inclination for the physical
austerities of the great orders. It was for these sisters that
Francis held conferences or 'familiar conversations' on religious
topics at regular intervals. These conversations were not written
out by Francis himself but were noted down and collected by the
sisters. Pudentiana Deacon's translation of these transcripts gives
the reader an idea of the personality of the speaker. De Sale comes
across as a humane, commonsensical, practical man with an
occasional sense of humour and a shrewd idea of the specific
worries and temptations of his audience.
