Part 1 -- Here Begynneth The Chapitres Of The Booke That Is Called The Mirroure Of The Worlde And That Some Calleth Vice And Vertu. Part 2 -- Textual Notes -- Explanatory Notes -- Glossary -- Bibliography -- Index of NamesThe allegories of the virtues and vices were a common teaching tool in the Middle Ages for both religious and lay audiences to learn the basic tenets of the Christian faith. The Mirroure of the Worlde makes available for the first time the unique text in the fifteenth-century British manuscript, MS. Bodley 283, which is among the last and largest works in the tradition of lay religious instruction mandated by the Fourth Lateran Council. The Mirroure is derived from conflations of the Miroir du Monde and the Somme le Roi, both vernacular treatises on vices and virtues compiled in Northeast France in the thirteenth century. Translated into Middle English by, it is believed, Stephen Scrope, the foremost English translator of the mid-fifteenth century, this edition is one of the only books of virtues and vices that contains Latin text, an inclusion that points towards a more widespread knowledge of the language among the laypeople than previously thought. Complete with explanatory notes and a glossary, The Mirroure of the Worlde widens the understanding of medieval moral instruction, religion, reading practices, and education.Medieval Academy books ;Number 106.Christian ethicsEarly works to 1800Conscience, Examination ofEarly works to 1800Electronic books.Christian ethicsConscience, Examination of241Raymo Robert R.Whitaker Elaine E.Sternglantz Ruth E.Medieval Academy of America.MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910459937903321The mirroure of the worlde2004140UNINA
