This Is A New Release Of The Original 1917 Edition.

1917. This study is offered for the consideration of those who are interested in the question of the meaning of literature to those for whom it was created, in this case a medieval audience unconscious of "sources" but greatly liking an implied moral. Though the present work is an investigation into the influence of Eucharistic teaching and practice in a circumscribed filed, there are undoubtedly other literary questions which may find an answer in the same influence and which may therefore repay study from the same point of view.
