Abstract

São Bernardo de Claraval elaborou nos seus escritos um programa para a "Escola do Amor Espiritual". Devido ao facto de utilizar uma linguagem de altíssimo nível intelectual, porém, esse programa ficou durante muitos séculos limitado a um auditório monástico de elite. Segundo o artigo, contudo, nos finais do século XIV um autor anónimo inglês, provavelmente um monge cartuxo, dedicou-se a reescrever este programa fazendo dele, com uma grande habilidade místico-pedagógica, uma versão "democratizada". Desse modo, a imagem da "Árvore do Amor" tornou-se capaz de cobrir as necessidades espirituais dos leigos daquela época. /// In his works, Bernard of Clairvaux, designed an impressive curriculum for a monastic "school of spiritual love". Because of Bernard's remarkable level of style and doctrine, this curriculum was limited for centuries to a monastic elite audience. According to the article, however, at the end of the 14 th century the anonymous English author of The Cloud of Unknowing (probably a Carthusian) rewrote this program with mystico-pedagogical talent and created a "democratized version" of this course -with the central metaphor of a "tree of love "-thus meeting the spiritual interests and needs lay-people had in that particular period.
