Quote:Visio monachi de Eynsham (The Vision of the Monk of Eynsham)
Even in its own time, the “Vision of the Monk of Eynsham”—revealed to a Benedictine monk at an English monastery in 1196—was regarded by contemporaries as one of the most significant journeys into the afterlife of the Middle Ages. Soon after the vision was recorded around 1200, several editors and translators in Western Europe began adapting the revelation to the needs of their time and region, as well as to their social and intellectual milieu.
Abecedarius (Erhart Groß)
The “Abecedarius,” completed in 1431, may now be considered his first work in the vernacular, for he states in the introductory chapter: “Jeh hon noch niemer teütsch geschriben” (40v). The “Abecedarius” is divided into a detailed introductory chapter and 29 chapters arranged alphabetically according to theological key terms, the main part of each consisting of teachings in the style of devotional theology with a multitude of quotations from scholarly writings, supplemented by occasional explanations of the monastic rule and daily monastic life.
