Bonaventure, on Sir 1:6

“To whom hath the root of wisdom been revealed, and who hath known her wise counsels?”

“The third face of wisdom has every form in the traces of divine works. Hence in Ecclesiasticus: "To whom hath the root of wisdom been revealed; and who hath known her wise counsels? To whom hath the discipline of wisdom been revealed and made manifest? And who hath understood the multiplicity of her steps? There is one most high Creator, Almighty." And below: "He created her in the Holy Ghost, and saw her, and numbered her, and measured her. And He poured her out upon all His works." This wisdom has been made manifest, hence "wisdom cries aloud in the street, in the open squares she raises her voice." And yet we do not find her, resembling the unlettered man who owns a book and has no concern for it.”
