The Soliloquium, a compendium of St. Bonaventure’s mystical teaching, was one of his most popular works. Cast in the form of a dialogue between man and the soul, it includes many citations from the spiritual teachings of the Fathers of the Church. The work was printed a number of times in the fifteenth century; there were at least eight editions in Latin, as many in Dutch, and one in Spanish.
