Description: Jean-Claude Schmitt examines a unique and controversial conversion narrative to explore its meaning within the society and culture of its period as well as what it has to tell us about the way historians think and write.
Review Quotes: "Schmitt takes us on a delightful journey through some of the topics that have interested medievalists most in recent years, through discussions of medieval autobiography, of dreams and images, and of the meaning of conversion, illuminating the ways in which the Opusculum is a text of its time."-- "Journal of Religion"
