    Best books on Saint Bonaventure?

    I have been looking to get into Bonaventure's work for a while now, but have yet to see any comprehensive guides. Does anyone know of any?

    Thanks and God bless all,

    Cameron

    I recently downloaded a book called A Way Into Scholasticism by Peter S. Dillard.   He is basically doing what Feser does for Aquinas, except he does it for Bonaventure.  The book is primarily a companion to Journey from the Mind to God.  I only have the read the first bit but I enjoyed it.   I recommend checking it out.

    The holy grail of Bonaventure scholarship is John Quinn's Historical Constitution of Bonaventure's Philosophy. This is a huge book, nearly a thousand pages long, and best obtained from a library.

    A much respected older work is Etienne Gilson's The Philosophy of St. Bonaventure. A word of caution: Gilson likes to read (or misread) history according to his 'Existential' Thomist view-point.
