Ludolph of Saxony (c. 1295 – 1378), also known as Ludolphus de Saxonia and Ludolph the Carthusian, was a German Roman Catholic theologian of the fourteenth century.
His principal work, first printed in the 1470s, was the Vita Christi (Life of Christ).
It had significant influence on the development of techniques for Christian meditation by introducing the concept of immersing and projecting oneself into a biblical scene portraying the life of Jesus, which became popular among the Devotio Moderna community and later influenced Ignatius of Loyola.
Less well known is his commentary on the Psalms, which is presented here in a rare Venetian edition.
As a bonus, these contain some "Penitential and Confessional Psalms" by the Italian classic Francesco Petrarca, based on the style of ancient Hebrew poetry.
Without one index leaf, some parts slightly stained
Text in Latin
