What it is
A vast handbook of methodical meditation, with numbered steps, memory devices, and scales for examining conscience day by day.
Why it lasted
The most systematic expression of Devotio Moderna method, and a probable influence on the Ignatian Exercises a generation later.
Where to read it
Public domain and free to read in full, though not held here. The archives below have it.
These open a search on each archive rather than a direct link, which is the honest way to point at an edition nobody here has checked line by line.
