By: Saint AMBROSE (c. 340 - 397), translated by H. DE ROMESTIN ( - )
Composed about A.D. 391., this treatise of
St. Ambrose may as well be called "Concerning Christian Virtues" as it
practically offers to the reader a whole bouquet of Christian virtues.
St. Ambrose, esteeming very highly the dignity of the ministerial
office, was most desirous that the clergy of his diocese should live
worthily of their high vocation, and be good and profitable examples to
the people. The language of the book is eloquent, the style noble, the
thought abundant in both imagery and rhetoric, and the philosophical and
moral contents - pithy, fragrant and heart-commanding. (Summary by
Euthymius)
