Sumário
Fonte: Spanish critical text with Silverio's notes (manuscript variants, scripture references) kept as footnotes. OCR of the scan; page furniture removed; footnotes matched to their references page by page; OCR errors corrected by consulting P. Eulogio Pacho's modern text (Editorial Monte Carmelo, via Documenta Catholica Omnia), which was used only to find errors and never copied. Chapter summaries are taken from Silverio's own table of contents. · The Living Flame only, with its scripture references as footnotes; Wiseman's essay, Zimmerman's introduction and the minor writings are not included here. Lewis translates the first redaction (A): e.g. stanza 1, 'So powerful a purgation is the lot of but few souls, namely of those whom He intends to lift by contemplation to some degree of union' renders A's 'sólo en aquellas que él quiere levantar por contemplación a algún grado de unión', which B rewrote; and his stanza lengths follow A's.
