medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture Although not really an Ars moriendi, in Le chevalier délibéré by Olivier de la Marche (1483, so 15th century) one can read how to prepare for your death. This book was translated into English (and since then it's a kind of English Ars moriendi) by Lewis Lewkenor (I think in the 16th century). I am searching for this text quite a while now. Does anybody has a copy for me? A text-edition or facsimile? I'm willing to pay the costs. Bas Jongenelen -----Oorspronkelijk bericht----- Van: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture [mailto:[log in to unmask]]Namens Diane DeLauro Verzonden: zondag 15 september 2002 22:59 Aan: [log in to unmask] Onderwerp: [M-R] Ars moriendi treatises medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture Learned List Members, I have been reading Ars moriendi treatises in hopes of finding one that gives advice about how to bequeath goods in such a way as to increase the chances of the testator's salvation. Sylvia Thrupp long ago mentioned that such advice was sometimes offered by these manuals on how to make a good Christian death. So far, however, I have come up empty. I am especially interested in English texts from the 15th century. Does anyone know of any primary, or even secondary, sources that discuss the proper (Christian) disposal of goods in last wills and testaments?
