Walter Hilton lived in England in the fourteenth century. He was an Augustinian canon of Thurgarton Priory near Southwell in Nottingham shire and is noteworthy for the publication of The Scale of Perfection. This Librivox reading is from Book 2: 21-23 of the Scale of Perfection which has been favorably compared to The Cloud of Unknowing and The Imitation of Christ. The book is as concerned with the moral and ascetic life as it is with the contemplative life.
