The Tree of Life

St. Bonaventure

This book is in Latin.

A meditation on the life of Christ as a tree of twelve fruits, in the mysteries of his origin, his passion and his glorification; each fruit has four verses on Jesus and a prayer. 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.
