The Spiritual Exercises
English, translated by Elder Mullan — The Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius of Loyola, translated by Elder Mullan, 1914
The Exercises were offered for ecclesiastical censure at Rome. The text submitted was not, however, the one which is here reproduced, but two Latin translations, one in more polished Latin—since called the Vulgate Version—and one a literal rendering. The opinions expressed on these versions, as also the formal approval of Paul III, are given here, as applying quite entirely to the text from which the translations were made.
