St. Bonaventure

This book is in Latin.

A treatise on why the Friars Minor preach and hear confessions, with an addition (a work of doubtful authorship attributed to Bonaventure). The Latin is the Quaracchi edition (Opera omnia VIII, 1898) 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.
