{"product_id":"the-doctrine-of-the-hert-christiania-whitehead-9780859897785","title":"The Doctrine of the Hert: A Critical Edition with Introduction and Commentary","description":"This volume makes readily available for the first time a critical edition of The Doctrine of the Hert, the fifteenth-century English translation of De doctrina cordis, a thirteenth-century Latin devotional treatise addressed to nuns. A religious bestseller, the Doctrina circulated throughout Europe between the thirteenth and fifteenth centuries and was translated into six different languages. The Doctrina progressively pairs the seven gifts of the Holy Spirit with seven key actions of the heart, leading readers toward contemplative unity with God. Despite its medieval popularity, the Doctrina has largely escaped the attention of scholars until recently. Exeter's edition offers a full textual commentary, while its introduction not only examines current thinking upon the Doctrina's authorship and envisaged primary audience, but also takes advantage of recent scholarly breakthroughs in the understanding of late medieval female spirituality.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Christiania Whitehead\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0859897788\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780859897785\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Liverpool University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/15\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.15lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.28w x 0.85d","brand":"Christiania Whitehead","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48013823639807,"sku":"9780859897785","price":43.45,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5e05ac40-c902-48ea-ab4f-a465f2c2c53f.jpg?v=1767744989","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-doctrine-of-the-hert-christiania-whitehead-9780859897785","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
