Saint Bonaventure: On the Reduction of the Arts to Theology (1996, Franciscan Institute) 5 stars

In his treatsie, On the Reduction of the Arts to Theology or, in Latin, De …

Sublime

5 stars

This is such a sublime and magnificent work that even in comparison to the glowing mystical passion of the highest work of medieval mysticism, Itinerarium Mentis in Deum, also by St. Bonaventure, its beauty doesn't faint. This work of St. Bonaventure is cast in the mold of scholastic form, so though short and concise, a metaphysical universe that's not like the classical one but with the structure which is in its spirits homologous to a Gothic cathedral emerges, and the passionate Franciscan iridescence through the stained glass of mysticism serenely illuminates. All knowledge will be destroyed, truly.
