Description (What the record is about)
-
The 'Summa de virtutibus', by Guillaume Peyraud (c.1200-1271?), or Guillelmus Peraldus, or William Peraldus, a Dominican preacher from Lyon. Written around 1248, this was probably the most influential text on the cardinal virtues from the late medieval period. This manuscript of the 'Summa' was written in England. ff. 1r-3v. 'Incipiunt capitula in tractatu de uirtutibus. Presens opus habet v partes principales ... Expliciunt capitula tractatus uirtutum'. ff. 3v-220. 'Incipit tractatus moralis de uirtutibus. Prologus. Cum circa utilia studere debeamus ... celestem hereditatem. Tractatus uirtutum explicit. Benedictus dominus uirtutum qui incepit et compleuit. Amen'.
