Content Inside: BIBLIOGRAPHY #2: Classics of Medieval Spirituality 1. Benedictine & Cistercian Monasticism RB 1980: the Rule of Benedict (Collegeville, Liturgical Press, 1980) hardback, $20. Benedict's Rule has served as the basis for Western monasticism for 1500 years. A work of spiritual and practical genius, notable for its humanity and its moderation (obvious when compared with its sources). This is the best and most up-to- date translation--with the Latin text on facing pages. An older, but competent translation is by Anthony Meisel and M.L. del Mastro, Image (paperback, $6). Bernard of Clairvaux, Selected Works, Classics of Western Spirituality 55, trans. G.R. Evans (New York: Paulist Press, 1987) paperback, $13. The great leader of the reform of Citeaux (the Cistercians); one of the great analysts of the degrees of mystical love; also the polemical opponent of Abelard and a respectful, but harsh critic of papal overreaching. This is a good selection of his works. Bernard of Clairvaux, Homilies in Praise of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Cistercian Fathers 18A, trans. Marie-Bernard Said (Kalamazoo, MI: Cistercian Publications, 1979/1993). Bernard of Clairvaux, Apologia to Abbot William: Cistercians and Cluniacs, Cistercian Fathers 1A, trans. Michael Casey (Kalamazoo, MI: Cistercian Publications, 1970). William of St. Thierry, The Golden Epistle: A Letter to the Brethren at Mont Dieu, Cistercian Fathers 12 (Kalamazoo, MI: Cistercian Publications, 1973). Dennis Martin, Carthusian Spirituality: The Writings of Hugh of Balma and Guigo de Ponte, Classics of Western Spirituality (New York: Paulist Press, 1997) paperback, $23. Pauline Matarusso, ed., The Cistercian World: Monastic Writings of the 12th Century (New York: Penguin Books, 1993), paperback, $12. Benedicta Ward, ed., The Prayers and Meditations of Saint Anselm (New York: Penguin Books, 1973) paperback, $12. 2. Francis of Assisi & the Franciscan Mystics Marion A. Habig, ed., St. Francis of Assisi: Writings and Early Biographies, English Omnibus of Sources for the Life of St. Francis (Chicago: Franciscan Herald Press, 1983) hardback, $50. This has the complete writings of Francis and complete translations of the early biographies: Thomas of Celano, The Legend of the Three Companions, The Little Flowers. Bonaventure, The Soul's Journey into God, Classics of Western Spirituality 5, trans. Ewert Cousins (New York: Paulist Press, 1978) paperback, $17. Bonaventure was the superior general of the Franciscans, a superb scholastic theologian and, of course, a mystical writer of the first order. The theme of the ascent of the inner person to God is ancient, but Bonaventure brings the Franciscan depth and warmth of feeling to this age-old theme. This volume also includes Bonaventure's classic Life of Francis. Francis of Assisi and Clare, The Complete Works, Classics of Western Spirituality 35, trans. Regis Armstrong & Ignatius C. Brady (New York: Paulist Press, 1982) paperback, $15. Jacopone da Todi, Lauds, Classics of Western Spirituality 30, ed. Serge & Elizabeth Hughes (New York: Paulist Press, 1982) paperback, $13.
