The Steps of Humility and Pride

St. Bernard of Clairvaux

This book is in Portuguese.

Bernard’s first treatise, written for his cousin Godfrey: the twelve steps of humility by which one climbs to truth, and the twelve of pride by which one falls from curiosity to the habit of sin, with Mabillon’s admonitio. Latin only, from the Maurist text in Migne, a machine-corrected OCR.
