In this book Kathleen Pond has translated extracts from a representative range of writers. She has avoided the best known works of St. John of the Cross and St. Teresa of Avila as these writings are readily available in English. Her selection includes Bernardino de Laredo’s meditations on “The Prayer, Agony and Sweat of Christ”, Francisco de Osuna on “The Three Manners of Silence” and Luis de Leon’s treatise on the mystical significance of the ‘Canticle of Canticles’.
