About this book
“To you, O Lord, I lift up my soul.” — Psalm 25:1, the opening words of Love’s Prompting
Two classics of thirteenth-century Franciscan devotion, both long circulated under the name of St. Bonaventure, in one volume.
Love’s Prompting (Stimulus Amoris), by the Franciscan lector James of Milan, leads the reader into loving meditation on the Passion of Christ and the graces of the Creator, a work so loved that its chapters were copied into countless later devotional books. The Canticle of One Who Is Poor for the Beloved (Canticum Pauperis pro Dilecto), by John of Pecham, Franciscan and later Archbishop of Canterbury, sets the wisdom of the ancients and the sciences of the schools in the light of the poverty of Christ.
Translated by Campion Murray, OFM, with the preface of the first critical edition.
