The Mind's Ascent to God by the Ladder of Created Things
Fifteen steps of ascent to God through the consideration of creatures, written on Bellarmine's annual retreat (1615). The Latin is the Vivès edition (1870-74) from an OCR scan; the English is the 1925 translation by a Religious of the Church of England (A. R. Mowbray).

Some chapter-opening letters lost to the drop-cap are not restored.
