What is A companion to 'The Doctrine of the Hert' : the Middle English translation and its Latin and European contexts about?

"Th̀is book is a careful and ambitious attempt to cover the whole gamut of Latin and vernacular traditions of The Doctrine of the Hert It deserves considerable credit as a pioneering work in its field which also manages to be a compendium of everything one needs to know about this text.' Nicholas Watson, Harvard University" "The Doctrine of the Hert is the fifteenth-century English translation of De doctrina cordis, a thirteenth-century Latin treatise and devotional bestseller addressed to members of religious orders. This book, the first sustained study of the Doctrine, consists of ten essays from an international group of scholars of medieval religion. It provides detailed discussion of the Middle English text alongside its Latin forebear and other European vernacular translations: French, German, Spanish and Middle Dutch." "University of Exeter Press's recently published critical edition of the Middle English version provides much-needed access to a text that has until lately largely escaped the attention of scholars. This Companion will illuminate the Doctrine's significane, establish its place in the context of European vernacular theology, and serve as a foundation for future
