medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
I can't help much, but large chunks of the vita of Maconi were included in Benedetto Tromby, Storia critico-cronologica diplomatica del Patriarca S. Brunone e del suo ordine cartusiano (Naples, 1775), vol. 7, appendix II, reprinted as Analecta Cartusiana, 84.7 (Salzburg, 1982), I believe.
or those excerpts may be in Charles Le Couteulx, Annales Ordinis Cartusiensis ab anno 1084 ad annum 1429, 8 vols. (Montreuil-sur-Mer, 1887-1891), vols. V-VII, passim--I don't recall at the moment whether Tromby or Couteulx or both have the excerpts from the Maconi vita; in any case there's an index in vol. VIII of Couteulx.
There was a Milan edition of 1624, but that's it as far as I can see from the "official" Carthusian bibliography, in press now in a joint pubilcation of Analecta Cartusiana and the Royal Library of Belgium. This is a much-needed expansion and correction of Albert Gruijs, _Cartusiana: Un instrument heuristique_, 3 vols. (CNRS, 1970s), edited by Dom Augustin Devaux and Dom Gabriel van Dijk and others. They do not list any editions earlier than 1624. The "revised Gruijs" is a monumental work, containing virtually every item ever published by any Carthusian and just about everything ever written about the Carthusians, divided into listings for each individual house of the order and each individual Carthusian monk or nun, plus a volume dedicated to thematic groupings and general studies. Those interested in medieval monasticism will want to be on the lookout for this and make sure their institutions' libraries order it. I'm not sure of publication date, but it can't be more than a year or so--I hope.
If you have not already seen LEONCINI, Giovanni, _Un Certosino del tardo medioevo: Don Stefano Maconi_, Analecta Cartusiana, 63, Salzbourg, 1991, t. 2, 54-107, you might check it out.
Professor Leoncini would be the person who would really know the answer to your question, but I don't have an email address for him (if no one does, I can supply a snail mail address off list). Perhaps someone else on the list is a Maconi specialist (or a Catherine of Siena specialist who has pursued Maconi).

Can anyone help with any information about Bartolomeo da Siena, a Sienese
Carthusian who wrote an account of the life of Stefano di Corrado Maconi,
De vita et moribus beati Stephani Senensis Carthusiani? (Stefano was a
close associate of Catherine of Siena who entered the Carthusian order
after her death and became Prior General of the Carthusians--of the Roman
observance, during the schism--from 1398-1410.)
I know this work from an edition published in Siena in 1626, but I do not
know whether it was published during Bartolomeo's lifetime and I do not
have access to a copy of this work at this time. I am interested in
finding out more about Bartolomeo, and particularly about the sources he
might have had at his disposal when writing the Vita of Stefano di Corrado
Maconi.
I'd be grateful for any suggestions.
