- This translation of a mid-fourteenth-century Anglo-Norman treatise required the reconstruction and reconceptualization of the cultural contexts for, and the influence of, devotional writing in this multilingual context. The text is accompanied by extensive notes and an introduction that constitutes the fullest account to date of its sources and influences. The underpinning research took almost a decade and necessitated archival work in New York, Dublin, London, Cambridge and Stonyhurst. It involved linguistic skills, wide reading in, and sifting of, material often available only in manuscript form, palaeographical and editorial skills, creativity and rigour in translation and the challenging of critical assumptions.
