PDF and PDF_OCR is from saintdominichist0000vica. My scanned version is the lower-quality SaintDominicAndHisTimes.

p. 55-55 (PDF pp. 74-76) are on +Diego and St. Dominic's attempted resolution of the marriage case between the infanta (prince) of Castile and a "noby laby" of Denmark. They had a marriage-by-proxy, but when the princess heard (allegedly) that the prince had leprosy, she entered a convent, taking the habit/veil of widows (not virgins). Entrance into religion before consummation is permitted. The prince wanted to consummate the marriage, but the princess died in the meantime.
