MYRROR TO DEVOUT PEOPLE (SPECULUM DEVOTORUM): AN EDITION WITH COMMENTARY A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate School of the University of Notre Dame in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Paul J. Patterson, B.S., M.A. ______________________________ Jill Mann, Co-director _______________________________ Jesse Lander, Co-director Graduate Program in English Notre Dame, Indiana November 2006 © Copyright by Paul J. Patterson 2006 All Rights Reserved MYRROR TO DEVOUT PEOPLE (SPECULUM DEVOTORUM): AN EDITION WITH COMMENTARY Abstract by Paul J. Patterson This dissertation provides a new edition of the Mirror to Devout People , which survives in two manuscripts: Notre Dame, Indiana, University of Notre Dame, MS 67 (ND) and Cambridge, University Library, MS Gg.1.6 (C). Two previous editions of this text were completed as unpublished dissertations. Bridget Ann Wilsher’s 1956 University of London dissertation uses C as a base text and ND to fill in a lacuna; major variations in ND are noted. John Patrick Banks 1959 Fordham dissertation uses ND as the base text; major variations in ND are noted. In 1973, a partial edition edited by James Hogg was published as part of the Analecta Cartusiana series; it lacks the last one-third of the text. The present edition provides a full record of all variant readings in both manuscripts. Based on ND, it uses C to correct errors in sense and syntax, and also uses the sources to identify original readings. A glossary, which contains words that are not easily recognizable to readers of modern English, is included, as well as a complete glossary of all proper names. -
