Description and Table of Contents
Description
Those interested in the study of medieval civilization who rebel against the notion of the Dark Ages owe it to themselves to become acquainted firsthand with a twelfth-century tour de force, Peter of Waltham's Remediarium Conversorum, a creative synthesis of the Moralia in Job written six centuries earlier. The magnum opus of Gregory the Great, the Pope who sent Augustine of Canterbury as a missionary to Anglia, deserves continuing attention. Peter of Waltham's rendering was unquestionably popular during the Middle Ages, and the usefulness of his approach is no less patent to the modern reader.
