Although a large collected Latin \u003ci\u003eOpera\u003c\/i\u003e appeared in the 1530s, it was scarcely exhaustive, and a number of the texts there included, notably Rolle's Latin Psalter commentary, have not been critically examined since. This volume partially redresses this silence by providing a sequence of four Latin texts that have remained in manuscript. Central to Rolle's oeuvre (and to this volume) is Rolle's meditative reading of the first three verses of The Song of Songs, 'Super Canticum'.  Also included are two relatively brief unedited texts, 'Super  Magnificat' and 'De vita activa et contemplativa'. In addition, the volume reassesses the universal manuscript ascription to Rolle of 'Viridarium, vel De misericordia Dei'; although the work is here reascribed, there is also an edition of selected passages. \u003ci\u003eUnprinted Latin Writings\u003c\/i\u003e also includes an introduction, critical and textual, some textual annotation, a description of all those previously undescribed manuscripts used here, and an index of the medieval sources cited.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e‘As can be expected, Hanna’s editorial choices are sound, and his editorial considerations, especially for the \u003cem\u003eSuper Canticum\u003c\/em\u003e, are explained with admirable clarity in the introduction… [a] slim but highly erudite and ambitious volume.’ Greti Dinkova-Bruun, \u003cem\u003eSpeculum\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eForeword\u003cbr\u003eAbbreviated References\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction\u003cbr\u003eBibliography\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Texts:\u003cbr\u003eSuper Canticum Canticorum\u003cbr\u003eSuper Magnificat\u003cbr\u003eDe vita activa et contemplativa\u003cbr\u003eViridarium, vel De misericordia Dei\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNotes to the texts\u003cbr\u003eAppendix: Manuscripts previously undescribed\u003cbr\u003eIndex fontium\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Liverpool University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50470083690839,"sku":"9781802077490","price":29.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781802077490.jpg?v=1744897370","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/richard-rolle-unprinted-latin-writings-9781802077490","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
