Description: "This book explores a late fourteenth-century pastoral work, The Mirror of Priests, by an Augustinian Canon Regular named Albert from the Bavarian market town of Diessen. It brings to light an exceptional unstudied manuscript tradition and uses it to expand our understanding of the way local religion was constructed in medieval European Christian society" --
Review Quotes:
Klepper's work is a tour de force, with supreme attention to detail and a constant eye to the lived experience of the priest and canon. It will be invaluable for scholars of the cure of souls in the later Middle Ages.
