William/Guillaume Perault (Latinised as Guilelmus Peraldus), first wrote a treatise on vices and the deadly sins, and later a complementary book about virtues, the Summa de virtutibus; they typically circulated together as a single volume and were enormously popular, with hundreds of manuscripts (and many incunable editions) surviving. The section on the beatitudes is divided into 12 parts, of which part 10 is De munditia cordis (Purity of the heart).
