- Description
- Identifies and comments on various parallels between lines 36 and 74 of the "Invocacio ad Mariam" in SNP and St. Bernard’s praise of Mary in Dante’s "Paradiso," XXXIII, treating portions of it as "free translation," although perhaps influenced by other works of Marian theology and literature.
