Bonaventure

A brief prefatory introduction to the books of Peter Lombard's Sentences, organized around the scriptural image of the circuit of heaven and transmitted with an editorial argument on circumincession.

Bonaventure's Itinerarium mentis in Deum (1259): the soul's six-step ascent to God through his footprints in the sensible world, his image reformed by grace, and the divine Being and Good, crowned by mystical ecstasy. Latin: Quaracchi critical text; English: Thomas Davidson's 1887 translation improved with AI.
