"The enormous productivity of the twelfth century canons of Paris's Abbey of Saint Victor had a tremendous influence on the great scholastic masters of the thirteenth century like Thomas Aquinas and Bonaventure. Their contemplative spirituality, transmitted via the Low Countries, would also shape the Devotio Moderna and beyond. How fortunate, then, that New City Press will provide an English language series of translations of Victorine biblical exegesis, speculative theology, liturgical works, and mystical texts. Like the householder of the Gospel, the Victorines brought forth old things and new. We are the beneficiaries of those present day scholars who make these nova et vetera available to a wide audience in fresh reliable translation."
Lawrence S. Cunningham
John A. O'Brien Professor of Theology, The University of Notre Dame
"At last we have in our hands wonderful, easily-accessible translations of the Victorine School! Each of the previous three volumes in Victorine Texts in Translation reveals how neglected these twelfth-century authors have been and contains one insight after another. This latest volume, Writings on the Spiritual Life, offers so many treasures in the art and theology of prayer that readers will undoubtedly exclaim: "so it was not this or that giant of the thirteenth century who first expressed this piece of wisdom. Not only have all those involved in this project furthered scholarship, in this latest volume they have placed invaluable tools in the hands of all those eager to grow in the spiritual life."
Regis J. Armstrong, O.F.M. Cap.

Review
"The teachings, spiritual thoughts, and sermons contained here go to the very center of the preoccupations of the Victorine School. This volume reflects the spiritual life of the abbey, not only in the various literary genres that it brings to us, but also in its formal structure and forms of prayer and its themes." -- Fr. Patrice Sicard "Extraordinary Professor at the Faculty of Notre Dame College of Bernardine, France"
