Silcox's eagerly awaited biography of David B. Milne 1882-1953 tells the remarkable story of one of Canada's great artists and his work. This book has been very much a labour of love by Silcox a love for the work of the artist and an appreciation of his ideas. Lavishly illustrated and based on many years of research Painting Place provides a perceptive analysis of Milne's work both the paintings and the artist's voluminous and lively writings. The book balances words and pictures in a way that would surely have delighted its subject as it will its readers." "Milne's unique and striking images set him on a path of his own early in his life. He never sought fame or commercial success but in time curators sought him out critics hailed his work and knowledgeable collectors bought his paintings and prints. Most important of all he was a painter's painter acknowledged by other artists as an innovator of supreme ability an uncompromising master of technique and a creator of memorable paintings."--Jacket.

Her stigmata is well documented since she was examined over a three year period by more than a hundred doctors and twice as many theologians.During a cholera epidemic in Bois-D'Haine in 1866 the sixteen year old Louise Lateau nursed six of the epidemic victims. The next year she became seriously ill herself and remained ill until 1868. In April of that year she was so ill that she received the last rites. Ten days later she had her first experience of the stigmata. From 24 April 1868 pain recurred every Friday and blood began to flow from her left side and feet.; On 8 May blood came from both hands as if from nail wounds; On 25 September the stigmatism was completed by the appearance on the breast of four small spots of blood as if coming from four pinpricks to the heart. All these wounds appear without apparent cause on the night of Thursday to Friday and disappear the next night. It will do this every Friday until her death in 1883. Size: 8 Vo. 19 cm. H.
