The Companion combines a valuable introduction to this largely neglected group of texts with a particular focus on the Middle English Doctrine. The authors are in productive conversation with each other, and the volume is clearly introduced and nicely cross-referenced. * Ecclesiastical History 63.2, *\u003cbr\u003eThese two complementary volumes together fill a major gap in the ever-burgeoning fields of late medieval devotional literature and of medieval women’s spirituality. Students of medieval devotional literature and of medieval women’s spirituality will want to own the Companion as well as the edition of 'The Doctrine of the Hert.’ * Medieval Feminist Forum, 48.1 *\u003cbr\u003eThis book is a careful and ambitious attempt to cover the whole gamut of Latin and vernacular traditions of the Doctrine of the Hert, and deserves considerable credit as a pioneering work in its field which also manages to be a compendium of everything one needs to know about this text.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAcknowledgements\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eList of Abbreviations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNotes on Editors and Contributors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDenis Renevey, University of Lausanne  Christiania Whitehead, University of Warwick\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart One: De doctrina cordis\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Authorship of the De doctrina cordis\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNigel Palmer, University of Oxford\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDe doctrina cordis: Catechesis or Contemplation?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChristiania Whitehead, University of Warwick\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart Two: The Doctrine of the Hert\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Doctrine of the Hert: A Middle English Translation of De doctrina cordis\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnne Elizabeth Mouron, University of Oxford; 'Comfortable Wordis' - The Role of the Bible in The Doctrine of the Hert\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnnie Sutherland, University of Oxford\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMeat, Metaphor and Mysticism: Cooking the Books in The Doctrine of the Hert\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVincent Gillespie, University of Oxford\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Middle English Doctrine of the Hert and its Manuscript Context\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCatherine Innes-Parker, University of Prince Edward Island, United States\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart Three: European Vernacular Translations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe French Translations of De doctrina cordis\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnne Elizabeth Mouron, University of Oxford\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA Middle Dutch Translation of De doctrina cordis: de bouc van der leeringhe van der herten in Vienna, Osterreichischen National Bibliothek, MS 15231\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMarleen Cre, University of Antwerp, Belguim\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDe doctrina cordis and fifteenth-century ecclesial reform: Reflections on the context of the German vernacular versions; Karl-Heinz Steinmetz, University of Vienna, Austria\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Spanish Translation: Del ensenamiento del coracon (Salamanca, 1498)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnthony John Lappin, University of Manchester\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBibliography\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIndex\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Liverpool University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49406344560983,"sku":"9780859898218","price":109.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780859898218.jpg?v=1730495473","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/a-companion-to-the-doctrine-of-the-hert-9780859898218","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
