Born in Andalusia around 1492, Osuna gave the Castilian language its definitive vocabulary for interior prayer and articulated the practice of recollection that would become foundational for Western contemplative study sets Osuna in his historical context - the Castile of Cisneros and the Catholic Monarchs, the Observant Franciscan reform, the early Inquisition, the alumbrado controversy - and unfolds the architecture of his contemplative teaching with care and clarity. Drawing on the medieval Franciscan inheritance of Bonaventure and the Augustinian theology of the soul's interiority, it offers both a historical portrait and a serious engagement with a practice that remains accessible to readers doctrine of recollection and the gathering of the soul's facultiesThe discipline of silence and the suspension of discursive thoughtThe primacy of love over knowledge in the contemplative traditionThe hidden God who dwells in the depth of the soulThe transmission of the teaching to Teresa of Avila and John of the CrossThe reach of his alphabets across Catholic Europe and the New WorldThe teacher of an inward stillness in a noisy age, Osuna addresses the modern reader with a quiet authority that the centuries have not diminished. His doctrine of recogimiento, articulated for Castilian friars and devout laypeople in the early sixteenth century, continues to speak to anyone who has noticed the dispersion of the contemporary soul and is willing to undertake the patient work of inward students of Christian mysticism, scholars of Spanish religious history, and contemporary readers seeking a grounded introduction to the tradition of silent prayer, this volume opens a steady door into a wisdom that has shaped Catholic spirituality for nearly five centuries.
