Canon Raffaele Martelli: Life and Letters by John J Kinder and Joshua Brown

Book Description

Secondhand. Very good condition. Ex library book with stickers, stamps and protective plastic covering. Some wear to book corners.

Raffaele Martelli arrived in Fremantle in 1853 and spent the rest of his life in Western Australia where he died in 1880.

The authors have studied the nearly two hundred letters from Martelli to his great friend, Bishop Salvado of New Norcia. From the letters, we gain an insight into Catholic and colonial life in 19th century Western Australia.
