About this product

Product Information

"The Classics of Western Spirituality(tm) Series promises to be one of the most important and valuable tools for the teaching of western spiritual traditions in coming years."Bernard McGinnProfessor of Historical Theologyand History of Christianity, TheUniversity of Chicago DivinitySchool, Chicago, Illinois Richard of St. Victor: The Book of the Patriarchs, The Mystical Ark, Book Three of the Trinity translation and introduction by Grover A. Zinn, prefaceby Jean Chatillon "Contemplation is free and clear vision of the mind fixed upon the manifestation of wisdom in suspended wonder...." Richard of St. Victor (?--1173)One of the great mystics of the Christian Tradition, Richard is the link between the early tradition of Pseudo-Dionysius and the great mystical awakening in Medieval Europe. For his genius in bringing together both the Latin and Greek Traditions all contemplatives owe him a great debt. Born in twelfth century Scotland, he joined the Abbey of St. Victor in Paris where he became Superior and Prior.The Twelve Patriarchs (or Benjamin Minor) is his preparation of the soul for contemplation. The framework is a scriptural allegory based on the story of Jacob. Richard uses the meaning of the names and the elements of the story to illustrate a unified view of the person and the relationship between contemplation and action. His Mystical Ark ( or Benjamin Major) completes this study.In his Book Three of the Trinity we see Richard's doctrinal basis forthe spiritual conclusions of his earlier work. Richard can teach us about the discipline and the dangers of the mystical quest. He can enlighten us concerning the relevance of symbols and symbolic structures as modes of communication.Jean Chatillon, of the University of Paris, who wrote the preface, is the world's Victorine scholar. +
