add to cart   close window

This article presents information about the book "The Example of Jacques de Virty," edited by Thomas Frederick Crane. Crane has excellently done his editorial work, and the book throughout gives evidence of scholarly research and careful criticism. Although other scholars have published selections from the "exempla," one believe that Crane's first complete edition is based on a careful study of the MSS of the "Sermons," and of the "Exempla" themselves. He gives a sketch of the author's life, and an account of his works add the MSS. which contain them, followed by an essay of the use of exempla by mediaeval preachers, including the "Gesta Romanorum" and the "Scala Celi."
