Description: Peter of Cornwalls Book of Revelations by Peter of Cornwall, Robert Easting, Richard Sharpe Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description A marvellous resource for scholars interested in the Latin literature of medieval dreams, visionary experience and the eschatological concerns of sin, penance, death, the afterlife, and the judgement of the soul. Publisher Description This is the first book-length study of Peter of Cornwall, prior of Holy Trinity, Aldgate, London. His Liber Reuelationum (Lambeth Palace Library, MS 51), dated to the year 1200, is a compilation of over 1,100 chapters, excerpted from some 275 Latin texts, dealing with visions of the otherworld and revelatory appearances of God, Christ, Mary, angels, saints, devils, and revenants. Peter collected the material from saints lives, chronicles, and free-standing vision texts from the first century AD through to his own day - for the purpose of providing evidence of the existence of God, the soul, and life after death to unbelievers. Accounts of new visionary experiences circulating in England in the 1190s doubtlessly prompted his collection. Like his other large-scale work, Pantheologus, Peter of Cornwalls Book of Revelations was intended to assist preachers with propagating the fundamentals of the faith. This volume introduces Peters life and writings and presents editions with parallel English translations of those parts of the Lambeth manuscript that Peter composed himself. A detailed description of the manuscript is included, and a Calendar identifies the source for each of Peters chapters. A bibliography and indices complete this volume, which provides a marvellous resource for scholars interested in the Latin literature of medieval dreams, visionary experience, and the eschatological concerns of sin, penance, death, the afterlife, and the judgement of the soul. Author Biography Robert Easting was Personal Chair in English Language and Literature at Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand, from 1973 to 2010.

Richard Sharpe is Professor of Diplomatic at the University of Oxford and a fellow of Wadham College. He was assistant editor of the Dictionary of Medieval Latin from British Sources, and is general editor of the Corpus of British Medieval Library Catalogues.
