The Doctrine of the Hertis a fifteenth-century Middle English translation ofDe doctrina cordis, a thirteenth-century Latin devotional treatise addressed to nuns. Despite its medieval popularity,The Doctrine of the Herthad largely escaped the attention of scholars until recently, yet it has much to contribute to our understanding of late medieval female spirituality. This volume consists of ten essays from an international group of medieval religious scholars who discuss the Middle English text alongside its Latin forebear and other European vernacular translations.
