ALBERT THE GREAT. SAINT ALBERTUS MAGNUS. The Paradise of the Soul: Or, A Little Treatise of Vertues. Made by Albert the Great, Bishop of Ratisbon, who died in the Year 1280. Translated out of Latin into English By N. N.
[London:] Printed for William Brooks, 1682. 12mo, pp. [x], 240, late 19th century half calf, marbled boards, gilt spine, morocco label; a very good copy even if the binding is a bit unsympathetic; ?lacks half-title. The first English translation of Paradisus Animae by Albert the Great (?1193 - 1280) was by Thomas Everard and appeared earlier in the 17th century, in 1617, published by the English College Press in St. Omer. The translator here makes no mention of the earlier translation. The attribution of the work to Albert the Great has been questioned, however, and authorship of the work has been assigned to Albert of Padua. Wing A 875H. ESTC 0R6662 locates copies in the BL, NLS, Downside Abbey, Bath, Franciscan House of Studies; Huntington, Clark, Folger, Newberry, and University of Illinois.
