The Virtues of a Religious Superior (De sex alis Seraphim)

St. Bonaventure

Sabinus Mollitor’s 1920 English translation of St. Bonaventure’s De sex alis Seraphim: the six wings of the seraph as six virtues of a religious superior, in a prologue and seven chapters (the Latin text of the Quaracchi edition is in the separate book bonaventure-de-sex-alis-seraphim, whose chapters run II-IV together). The translator’s sub-headings and notes are left out.

Source: Prologue, seven chapters and the conclusion of the translation. Paragraph numbers are kept; running heads and footnotes are dropped; words split at line ends are rejoined with a dictionary, so a few slips remain.
