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?
Thanks,
