Nicholas Love's Mirror of the Blessed Life of Jesus Christ is a
particularly important work of late medieval English vernacular
theology: it is seen as a landmark in the history of the official
campaign to control lay access to vernacular paramystical texts. It
is made available here for the first time in a critical modern
paperback edition, complete with a short introduction, explanatory
notes and a glossary. The volume is not merely a revision of
Michael Sargent's 1992 Garland best-text edition, now out of print,
but a new full critical edition that uses the Garland volume only
as its starting-point. Although based on the same manuscript, this
new edition includes the results of a complete collation of the 71
known surviving manuscripts and early prints.Nicholas Love's Mirror
was a Middle English translation of the pseudo-Bonaventuran
Meditationes Vitae Christi. The Latin text, probably written at the
end of the thirteenth century or the beginning of the fourteenth,
was a popular book of devotions on the events of the life and
passion of Christ characteristic of late-medieval Franciscan
spirituality. The Introduction places Love's Mirror, properly, at
the centre of current scholarly discussion of the development of
vernacular theology in late medieval England.
