Soliloquy on the Earnest Money of the Soul

Hugh of St. Victor

This book is in Latin.

Hugh’s dialogue of a man with his soul about the earnest money (arrha) of the Bridegroom: the visible gifts of grace that foretell the eternal wedding, one of the most tender pieces of twelfth-century spirituality. Latin only, from the Migne text (Patrologia Latina 176, 1854), a machine-corrected OCR.
