Summary

A copy of a treatise on spiritual philosophy attributed to the Benedictine monk and theologian Johannes von Kastl, also referred to as Johannes Castellensis and Johannis Kastell. Deals predominantly with metaphysical spirituality and morality. Consists of 23 chapters, most only filling a page or less. A couple of chapters appear to be out of order. Appears to be an abridged version of Kastl's original work. Some staining from moisture, but the text is still legible.
