The Threefold Way

St. Bonaventure

This book is in Latin.

A treatise on the purgative, illuminative and unitive ways, also called “The Fire of Love”: the soul’s ascent in three chapters, from the lament over its misery to the contemplation that reaches true wisdom. The Latin is the Quaracchi text of the Decem opuscula (1900), from an OCR scan, without the editors’ critical notes.

Source: Archive.org OCR of the octavo edition. Page heads, the editors’ footnotes (variant readings and cross-references) and note markers are removed; line-end hyphens are joined; recognisable OCR slips are corrected by comparison with the other Quaracchi scans, so some remain.
