| Summary: | In 1425, Jean Gerson wrote a letter to his brother Jean the Celestine, in which he attacked the Arbor vitae crucifixae Jesu of Ubertino de Casale. A passage toward the end of the letter mentions a lost work of Gerson: Finally, on this matter a short work was recently composed On the Examination of Doctrines. Another short work was also composed On the Doctrine of Raymund Lull. Moreover, certain things were written long ago On the Book that is Called Clymacus on the Thirty Steps of Perfection, whose root is the error of the Stoics [who] assert that the virtues are without feeling — that is, affected in no way through the passions. This is against the statement of the Apostle so widely experienced: “I see another law,” etc. Those who wish to make specific treatises about every single error with its origins will find no end. |
