About this book
“There is no doubt that whatever is worthily attributed to the Mother of God rebounds to the glory of the praise of God.” — St. Jerome, quoted in the Prologue
For centuries this beloved meditation on the Hail Mary circulated under the name of St. Bonaventure as the Mirror of the Blessed Virgin Mary. The Quaracchi editors showed in 1904 that its author was Friar Conrad of Saxony, a thirteenth-century Franciscan minister provincial of Saxony.
Phrase by phrase, Conrad unfolds the angel’s greeting: Hail, full of grace, the Lord is with you, blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb, drawing from each the praises, graces and virtues of the Mother of God.
Translated by Campion Murray, OFM, with the Quaracchi editors’ preface on the work’s manuscripts and author.
