The Two Middle English Translations of the Revelations of St. Elizabeth of Hungary

Middle English/Latin. Edited from Cambridge University Library MS Hh.i. 11 and Wynkyn de Worde's printed text of ?1493 by Sarah McNamer. The two translations are aligned synoptically, accompanied in the footer by the Latin original from which they both derive (Cambridge, Magdalene College MS F.4.14). An introduction illuminates aspects of authorship, textual history and language, while special attention is given to the reception of the text in England and its depiction of women's piety. 136 Seiten, broschiert (Middle English Texts; Vol. 28/Universitätsverlag C.
