Overview

A detailed investigation of a single medieval sermon collection: how, where, why, and for whom it was composed and how it was designed to be used. By setting this collection in its specific context, the study sheds new light on the whole system of preaching support which made the mendicant orders such effective communicators in the later Middle Ages.

This book as a whole is well-organized and well signposted. There is a seriousness to the scholarship and an intellectual openness and alertness that make it satisfying to read; also real insight into later medieval modes of thought. Medieval sermons have attracted a lot of fine scholarship from a range of discipline. This ranks with the best of it. --David d'Avray, The Medieval Review, 16.05.01
