Latin Sermon Collections from Later Medieval England

Almost all sermons were written in Latin until the Reformation. This scholarly study describes and analyzes such collections of Latin sermons from the golden age of medieval preaching in England--the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries. Basing his studies on the extant manuscripts Siegfried Wenzel analyzes their sermons and occasions. He covers many of the broader late medieval debates on preaching as well as the attitudes of orthodox preachers to Lollardy.
