Conversio Animae

S. presents the accounts of conversion in Augustine, Bonaventure and Petrarch as something more than series of events meaningful in themselves, saying that 'spiritual change gained momentum precisely by 'recycling' tradition' (p. 81) and that they should be seen 'sub specie symboli' (p. 86).
