De Oratione: A Collection of Humbert of Romans' Writings on Prayer by Humbert of Romans

https://www.amazon.com/Oratione-Collection-Humbert…

From the Amazon blurb: "The present translation, prepared by Fr. Thomas Crean, OP, constitutes the first appearance in English of Fr. Hering's book and also the first appearance in English of most of Humbert's writings on prayer. It should certainly be welcomed not only by those interested in Dominican or medieval spirituality but also by any reader who wishes to know more about how Christians have prayed through the centuries and/or those looking for assistance or inspiration in their own spiritual life."

Orthodox Bishop Alfeyev: "To be a theologian means to have experience of a personal encounter with God through prayer and worship."; Orthodox proverb: "We know where the Church is, we do not know where it is not."

    This looks very interesting.

    Blessed Humbert (1200-1277) is a key figure in Dominican history, and therefore also in the history of Christianity in the West in the middle ages.

    “The trouble is that everyone talks about reforming others and no one thinks about reforming himself.” St. Peter of Alcántara
