Literature on Mendicant privileges
I am hoping that someone on this list can help me. I’m currently doing work on the Cistercian Henry Crumpe, best known as an opponent of the Lollards in the early 1380s. In 1385 and again in 1392, Crumpe was condemned for a variety of statements he made against mendicant confessional privileges. What I’m looking for, and not finding, is secondary literature on the debate over confessional privileges in the later 14th century, things that would help me place Crumpe in the broader context of this issue.
I’ve got Katherine Walsh’s book on FitzRalph, and Szittya’s book on the anti-Fraternal tradition, but I’m not finding too much else that specifically deals with mendicant confessional privileges. Carolly Erickson’s articles on the critics of the Franciscans, for example, makes only a passing reference to criticism of confessional privileges. FX Martin’s article on Adam Payne explores the topic a little bit. Does anyone on the list know of any other works that I’ve missed? While I’m specifically focused on the British Isles, even material that deals with the Continent would be helpful. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
