This well-loved copy of St. John of the Cross’s “Spiritual Canticle” bears the gentle marks of its journey through time. Originally penned in the 16th century, this mystical poem explores the soul’s ardent longing for union with the divine. St. John, a Spanish friar and Doctor of the Church, was a leading figure in the Carmelite Reform and a master of sublime, symbolic verse. His writings, including this seminal work, have profoundly influenced Western spirituality and mystical literature. Translated by the esteemed E. Allison Peers, this edition offers English readers a window into St. John’s rapturous imagery and theological depth. Despite its well-worn exterior, the intact binding and clean pages invite collectors and spiritual seekers alike to immerse themselves in this timeless classic of Christian mysticism.
