Dear Clinton,
Your description sounds like the source in question might rather be one of
the falsely attributed writings. You could try the _Meditationes vitae
Christi_ (a text which I myself don't know) referred to by Powell as having
been attributed to Bonaventura and which seem to be the same _Meditationes_
which more often are cited as having been attributed to Bernard of
Clairvaux. Some references which I have taken from second hand:
POWELL Lawrence

of the Latin work entitled Meditationes vitae Christi,
attributed to Cardinal Bonaventura. Made before the year
1410 by Nicolas Love, edited by Lawrence Powell. London:

VACCARI Alberto

Sorry to be so vague!
Yours,
Otfried
