Beschreibung:
This text is an important work of late medieval English vernacular theology, and is made available here in a critical modern edition, including notes and glossary. The volume is a thoroughly revised edition of the 1992 Garland edition, now out of print, and includes the results of a complete collation of the 71 known surviving manuscripts and early prints. This paperback is a shorter edition than the hardback and is aimed at students and religious readers.
Nicholas Love's Mirror of the Blessed Life of Jesus Christ is a particularly important work of late medieval English vernacular theology: it is seen as a landmark in the history of the official campaign to control lay access to vernacular paramystical texts.
