Disputed Questions on Evangelical Perfection

St. Bonaventure

This book is in Latin.

Four disputed questions on evangelical perfection (humility, poverty, chastity, obedience), Bonaventure’s Paris defence of the mendicant life against William of Saint-Amour. The text is the Quaracchi edition (Opera omnia V, 1891) from an OCR scan, without the editors’ critical notes.

Source: Archive.org OCR (djvu.xml word coordinates) of the folio edition. Each page is read in two columns; marginal notes, running heads, the editors’ footnotes (variant readings, cross-references) and small-type scholia are removed by layout (line pitch and measure); line-end hyphens are joined; recognisable OCR slips are corrected by a lexicon pass, so some remain.
