You've got to love Scupoli. I recently got "Spiritual Combat" and a book by Fr. John Robinson titled "Spiritual Combat Revisited, printed this year by Ignatius Press. Scupoli's opus inspired one of my favorite saints, St. Francis de Sales. He carried a copy of "Spiritual Combat" for at least 18 years of his life. One can see the influence of Scupoli in the saint's writings.
