By St. Alphonsus Maria de Liguori
This reading edition presents the supplied modern English translation of Apparecchio alla Morte (Preparation for Death), written in Italian with Latin quotations. It includes the dedication, the author's explanation of the work, and thirty-six considerations, each divided into three points.
The Italian source is the IntraText transcription of Apparecchio alla Morte. IntraText identifies its printed source as Opere ascetiche, volume IX, pages 3–376 (Edizioni di Storia e Letteratura, Rome, 1965), and credits the electronic transcription to Father Salvatore Brugnano, C.Ss.R. The later scholarly introductions, footnotes, textual variants, concordance links, and printed page numbers are omitted from this reading edition.
