Quattuor orationes
The Quattuor orationes is a collection of four prayers by St. Birgitta of Sweden. They were likely written by Birgitta before the death of her husband Ulf Gudmarsson in 1344, who is referred to in the introduction to the Old Swedish translation. It is unsure if the Quattuor orationes were originally part of Alfonso of Jaén’s first edition of the Revelationes.
