Over the course of the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries, as more
and more vernacular commentaries on the Decalogue were produced
throughout Europe, the moral system of the Ten Commandments
gradually became more prominent. The Ten Commandments proved to be
a topic from which numerous proponents of pastoral and lay
catechesis drew inspiration. God's commands were discussed and
illustrated in sermons and confessor's manuals, and they spawned
new theological and pastoral treatises both Catholic and Reformed.
But the Decalogue also served several authors, including Dante,
Petrarch, and Christine de Pizan. Unlike the Seven Deadly Sins, the
Ten Commandments supported a more positive image of mankind, one
that embraced the human potential for introspection and the
conscious choice to follow God's Law.
