INCIPIT PROLOGUS ITINERARIUM MENTIS IN DEUM
PROLOG.
"I shall begin by invoking, through His Son Our Lord Jesus Christ, the First Principle,
from Whom all enlightenment descends as through the Father of Light, and from
Whom all that is given is of the best and all of Whose gifts are perfect . In this way,
through the intercession of the Most Holy Virgin Mary, who bore this same God and
Our Lord Jesus Christ, and through the intercession of the blessèd Francis, our
guide and father, He might give illumination to the eyes of our mind to point our feet
in the direction of peace, which reaches beyond perception."
