Mirror of the Blessed Virgin Mary and Psalter of Our Lady. This is two books combined into one by Saint Bonaventure. Saint Bonaventure begins with a discussion of the Hail Mary and continues to extol the virtues of the Blessed Virgin Mary, her holy name, how Mary has nine privileges symbolized by the nine choirs of angels. How Mary has the seven capital virtues to oppose the seven capital sins, and much more. In the Psalter of the Blessed Virgin Mary Saint Bonaventure paraphrases the 150 Psalms In honor of the Blessed Virgin to which are added canticles in her honor. "Whoever wishes to be saved must hold a firm faith in Mary, which unless anyone shall keep whole and inviolate without doubt shall perish forever." Saint Bonaventure says to us. In this canticle he presents the doctrines of the Blessed Virgin Mary, which we must believe to be truly Christian!
