"This book contains twenty documents, about half of which are writngs of Bonaventure himself, the rest being the legislation of the Order during his generalate, over which he had great influence. It is essentially a translation of the authentic Opuscula ad Ordinem spectantia published in volume VIII of the Quaracchi edition. I have eliminated the spurious and doubtful works ... and have also omitted the Apologia pauperum, the Legenda major, and the Legenda minor ... However, I have added a number of other works which have come to light subsequent to the publication of the Quaracchi edition"--P. vii.
