A Late Medieval Eschatological Manual for the Forthcoming Thirteen Years of Horror and Hardship

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

John of Rupescissa's VADE MECUM IN TRIBULACIONE was meant as an eschatological manual for the thirteen catastrophic years between its composition in December 1356 and the Thousand-Year Reign of Christ expected to begin in 1370. This manual was intended to give righteous Christians practical and spiritual advice on how to survive this period of tribulation. Matthias Kaup's study provides an annotated critical edition equipped with an English translation. It inducts in the manual's contents, places them in the context of Rupescissa's work and medieval prophetic literature, investigates important aspects of its reception and clarifies the relationships between its different versions.
