Commentary, editions & translations by Carolyn Muessig |
| This selection of sermons by the thirteenth century preacher, Jacques de Vitry (c. 1160-1240), offers a compelling glimpse into the pastoral education which shaped female devotional experiences. Muessig cleverly integrates an edition, translation and commentary of these selections in order to illuminates the cultural significance of the clerical conceptions of the role of women in medieval society. |

the life of medieval women, this is the volume to dispel that for all time! Muessig's collection is filled with gems of insight on medieval perceptions of and by women, and makes it clear that preachers did not only teach, but also learned from, the women they addressed!" - Monica Sandor, author of "The Popular Preaching of Jacques de Vitry," (Toronto: 1993) Dissertation |
