Handbook for Curates: A Late Medieval Manual on Pastoral Ministry by Guido Monte

Description: Handbook for Curates by Guido Monte Rochen, Anne T. Thayer, Katharine J. Lualdi Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description Guido of Monte Rochens Handbook for Curates became the most popular pastoral manual at the close of the Middle Ages as thousands of copies were printed in Europe. Composed of a mixture of practical "how to" and theological instruction, the Handbook taught pastoral basics to everyday priests. As such, it is an essential and vibrant source on late medieval religion and parish practice, which this full-length translation makes available in English for the first time. The Handbook is divided into three parts: sacraments and their administration, the sacrament of penance, and basic catechesis. Together they reflect Guidos mission to facilitate the fundamental duties priests were expected to fulfill for souls under their charge. Guido explains constituent parts of each sacrament, how each is done, who receives it, and what problems might arise in its practice. In step with broader religious currents of his day, Guido treats penance extensively, addressing topics from instances of the deadly sins to how to question penitents in confession. His Handbook concludes with explanations of the Creed, Lords Prayer, and Ten Commandments for the benefit of his readers and their flocks.To help contemporary students and scholars understand fully the Handbooks richness as a historical source, the introduction situates it within the intellectual milieu of late medieval Christianity. Guido is well acquainted with the vagaries of real life in a parish and a sense of compassion underlies his directives. Evidence of readers hands-on engagement abounds in the annotations that were written in the books margins. Examination of both the content of such comments and their location within the text suggests how Guidos readers sought to translate his advice into practice. Author Biography Anne T.
