Sr Pascale-Dominique Nau & Guigo II the Carthusian 
The Ladder of Monks [EPUB ebook] 

Guigo II the Chartusian (1114 – c. 1193) was the ninth prior of the Grande Chartreuse. His Ladder of Monks is one of the great spiritual classics that has inspired the method of lectio divina –spiritual reading of the Holy Scriptures– since the early Middle Ages. We find its influence, for example, in the reflection of Saint John of the Cross on lectio divina –see: “When God Speaks: Lectio Divina in Saint John of the Cross, ” and it provides the key to understanding William of Saint-Thierry’s “On Contemplation.”
