The text is divided into four books of detailed spiritual instructions that emphasizes the interior life and withdrawal from the mundanities of the world, as opposed to the active imitation of Christ practiced by other friars. The devotions of the books emphasize devotion to the Eucharist as the key element of spiritual life. The volume in this listing has been translated to French and includes commentary by Mgr. P.E.
