Bonaventure, on Rev 12:1

Bonaventure · c. A.D. 1221–1274
Rev 12:1 · Douay-Rheims
“And a great sign appeared in heaven: A woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars:”
On this verse:
“A man who does not have contemplation cannot yet enjoy the adornment of sun, moon and stars. For there is need of the apparition of "a woman clothed with the sun, and having the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars." Contemplation of the super-heavenly hierarchy is represented by the sun, contemplation of the sub-heavenly hierarchy, by the moon, and contemplation of the heavenly hierarchy, by the stars.”
