Sobre este artículo
Villanova, PA: Villanova University Press. Very Good in Good dust jacket. 1984. First Edition Thus. Hardcover. 0845345079 . [vi], 492 pp. Large octavo. Black paper dust jacket with stained glass window of Gregory the Great has some tears and wear at the extremities, blue spine bit sunned, flaps intact. Book itself is clean and unmarked, a very nice copy. Preface in English, else Latin. A 12th century tour de force, Peter of Waltham's Remediarium Conversorum, is a creative synthesis of the Moralia in Job written six centuries before by Gregory the Great. Waltham's rendering was unquestionably popular during the Middle Ages...As the word synethesis in the subtitle indicates, Waltham put together about 1/3 of the contents of the 35 books of the Moralia, not in sequential order, but in such a way as to form a treatise on the vices and virtues. In reworking Gregory's commentary...Peter shortened, transposed and adapted certain elements in his composition. It happens that one of the exant manuscripts is an intact representative of a group of 3 copies that restore many of these particular passages to bring them in near conformity with the accepted text. ; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 492 pages .
