pseudo-BONAVENTURA (HUGO DE BALMA, fl.1289-1304). De triplici via. [Speier: Printer of the "Gesta Christi", ca. 1472-73].
Chancery 2° (291x210mm). Collation: [110]. 10 leaves. 34 lines, double column. Type: 1:120G. 2-line initials, capital strokes, paragraph marks, and underlining in red. Nineteenth-century brown half-morocco and marbled paper boards, marbled endpapers. Provenance: some marginal annotations in a contemporary hand.
FIRST EDITION of this important work of Christian mysticism. Hugo was influenced by Dionysius Areopagita in his description of the three paths of the soul to union with God: the purgativa, illuminativa, and unitiva. De triplici via in turn exerted a strong influence on Gerson in composing his Mystica theologica, Henricus de Herp, and others.
