Sin and Society in Fourteenth-Century England - A Study of the Memoriale Presbiterorum

Zusatztext Superb study ... What makes this study especially valuable is the thoroughgoing manner in which the Memoriale is treated within its historical context ... This is an excellent work of scholarship, painstakingly researched, copiously documented and gracefully written. Klappentext This is the first full-scale scholarly study of a fourteenth-century English confessor's manual. It contributes significantly to the European-wide research on pre-Reformation confessional practice and clerical training. On another level, the Memoriale Presbiterorum's peculiarly intense concern with social morality affords pungent commentary on contemporary English society.
