The Bonaventure Opera Omnia
A New English Translation
An English translation of the Opera Omnia of St. Bonaventure of Bagnoregio (1221–1274), the Seraphic Doctor, from the Quaracchi critical edition (1882–1902). The project will eventually present all ten volumes; currently published are Volumes I, II, and III, the Commentaries on Books I, II, and III of the Sentences of Peter Lombard. Future volumes will include the remaining commentary on Book IV of the Sentences, the Breviloquium, Itinerarium mentis in Deum, the Collationes in Hexaemeron, and other opuscula and sermons.
Book I: On the Mystery of the Trinity
Book II: On the Creation of Things
Book III: On the Incarnation of the Word
The Quaracchi Opera Omnia runs to ten volumes (1882–1902). Three are now complete — the commentaries on the first three books of the Sentences. The remaining seven, including Book IV of the Sentences and Bonaventure’s opuscula, Scripture commentaries, and sermons, are still to come.
Bonaventure of Bagnoregio (1221–1274), the Seraphic Doctor, composed his Commentary on the Sentences while teaching at the University of Paris. It remains one of the most important works of medieval theology, yet no complete English translation has ever been published. This project seeks to remedy that gap.
