Lovely small volume of religious devotion by the Italian monk Lorenzo Scupoli (c. 1530-1610). Falsely accused of breaking rules within his order, this volume emerged from his suffering, teaching sacrifice and charity to egotistical desires. An important volume, not only in the Roman Catholic tradition, that has been translated and published widely.
