Description: A Diabolical Voice by Justine L. Trombley Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description "This book examines the Latin manuscript tradition of the condemned mystical treatise The Mirror of Simple Souls, written by Marguerite Porete (d. 1310). It shows how the Latin Mirror was the target of multiple condemnations and refutations in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries"-- Publisher Description In A Diabolical Voice, Justine L. Trombley traces the afterlife of the Mirror of Simple Souls, which circulated anonymously for two centuries in four languages, though not without controversy or condemnation. Widely recognized as one of the most unusual and important mystical treatises of the late Middle Ages, the Mirror was condemned in Paris in 1310 as a heretical work, and its author, Marguerite Porete, was burned at the stake. Trombley identifies alongside the works increasing positive reception a parallel trend of opposition and condemnation centered specifically around its Latin translation. Shes discovered fourteenth- and fifteenth-century theologians, canon lawyers, inquisitors, and other churchmen who were entirely ignorant of the Mirrors author and its condemnation and saw in the work dangerous heresies that demanded refutation and condemnation of their own. Using new evidence from the Mirrors largely overlooked Latin manuscript tradition, A Diabolical Voice charts the range of negative reactions to the Mirror, from confiscations and physical destruction to academic refutations and vicious denunciations of its supposedly fiendish doctrines. This parallel story of opposition shows how heresy remained an integral part of the Mirrors history well beyond the events of 1310, revealing how seriously churchmen took Marguerite Poretes ideas on their own terms, in contexts entirely removed from Marguerites identity and her fate. Emphasizing the complexity of the Mirror of Simple Souls and its reception, Trombley makes clear that this influential book continues to yield new perspectives and understandings.
