From the Back Cover
'Long understood to be crucial evidence for the nature of the early medieval church, ...[these penitential books] are now used by historians as telling evidence for sexuality, violence, the family, death rituals, witchcraft and other topics central to the so-called new social and cultural history. The readable translations and detailed introductions provided here for each document make the material easily accessible.'-Caroline Walker Bynum, Columbia University

Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paper Back. Condition: New. These selections from medieval Western penitential manuals -- Irish, Welsh, Anglo-Saxon, Frankish, Visigothic -- give us a glimpse of the ways in which sin and temptation were diagnosed and for which ''medicines'' were prescribed, from John Cassian's description of the ''eight deadly sins'' in the fifth century extending into the early Reformation period. Besides the array of original sources presented here, the introductory essays and scholarly apparatus are formidable achievements in themselves. Seller Inventory # 40683
