St Bonaventure

    Questo pensatore esplorò l'intricato rapporto tra fede e ragione, enfatizzando il ruolo cruciale dell'illuminazione divina per una profonda comprensione. I suoi scritti sono caratterizzati da un ardore mistico e da uno sforzo persistente nel sintetizzare concetti aristotelici con la teologia cristiana. Postulò che la vera saggezza nasce dall'unione con il divino, ispirando una vita dedicata al servizio. Il suo pensiero influenzò profondamente le correnti intellettuali medievali e continua a risuonare nel discorso spirituale.

    The Works of Bonaventure: Cardinal Seraphic Doctor and Saint: Volume I. Mystical Opuscula
    • This work is a complete and unabridged modern edition of a classic text, meticulously digitized and updated for readability. Unlike many other publishers, we ensure high-quality publications free from illegible scans or poorly executed OCR versions. Our aim is to provide accessible Christian literature at affordable prices. With this volume of the “Mystical Opuscula” of St. Bonaventure, we begin a series of translations that will systematically cover the major works of this influential figure in Christian theology. St. Bonaventure, a Doctor of the Church, was a prominent leader and theologian known for his profound insights into the theology of love. Despite his extensive influence and numerous editions of his works, much of his writing remains underrepresented in English. While some translations exist, St. Bonaventure's genius and message have yet to be fully recognized in the English-speaking world. The St. Anthony Guild Press aims to change that by utilizing the definitive Quaracchi Edition of the “Opera Omnia,” with the project authorized by the Minister General of the Order of Friars Minor. The translator, Baron José de Vinck, is a distinguished linguist and writer. The second and third volumes are already in advanced preparation and will follow within a year.
