Paperback. Condition: New. Guido of Monte Rochen's Handbook for Curates became the most popular pastoral manual at the close of the Middle Ages as thousands of copies were printed in Europe. Composed of a mixture of practical "how to" and theological instruction, the Handbook taught pastoral basics to everyday priests. As such,…it is an essential and vibrant source on late medieval religion and parish practice, which this full-length translation makes available in English for the first time. The Handbook is divided into three parts: sacraments and their administration, the sacrament of penance, and basic catechesis. Together they reflect Guido's mission to facilitate the fundamental duties priests were expected to fulfill for souls under their charge. Guido explains constituent parts of each sacrament, how each is done, who receives it, and what problems might arise in its practice. In step with broader religious currents of his day, Guido treats penance extensively, addressing topics from instances of the deadly sins to how to question penitents in confession. His Handbook concludes with explanations of the Creed, Lord's Prayer, and Ten Commandments for the benefit of his readers and their flocks.To help contemporary students and scholars understand fully the Handbook's richness as a historical source, the introduction situates it within the intellectual milieu of late medieval Christianity. Guido is well acquainted with the vagaries of real life in a parish and a sense of compassion underlies his directives. Evidence of readers' hands-on engagement abounds in the annotations that were written in the book's margins. Examination of both the content of such comments and their location within the text suggests how Guido's readers sought to translate his advice into practice.

C18 or C19 shelfmark of York Cathedral Library to t-p and next, 'XV.O.39,' purchased 1930 by A.S.W. Rosenbach. Very rare second Wynkyn de Worde edition of this popular manual for priests by the fourteenth-century Spanish cleric and canonist Guido de Mont Rochen, first printed in England by Pynson around 1500, and by de Worde in an earlier edition of 1502. This copy has excellent provenance, being from the library of Estelle Doheny, originally purchased from the York Minster Library by private treaty in 1930 by A.S.W. Rosenbach, with evidence of early English ownership (see Leslie A. Morris, Rosenbach Abroad (Philadelphia: 1988), p. 59, no. 55). Monte Rochen's book went through hundreds of editions in the late medieval period and circulated widely in manuscript: 'It sold twice as many copies as Gratian's Decretum, three times more than Thomas Aquinas's Summa theologiae, and six times more than Boccaccio's Decameron or Augustine's City of God. Yet Guido de Monte Rochen and his manual for priests have long been overlooked by historians of the period' (Michael Milway, 'Forgotten Best-Sellers from the Dawn of the Reformation' in eds Bast, Gow and Oberman, Continuity and Change (Leiden: 2000), p. 117). It was finally superseded by the establishment of the Roman Catholic catechism in the Council of Trent in 1566. The manual is divided into three parts: the first covers the chief sacraments of baptism, confirmation, the Eucharist, marriage, extreme unction, and the ordination of holy orders; the second covers penance and confession; the third contains crucial doctrines to be conveyed to the people: the Lord's Prayer, the Ten Commandments, etc. Monte Rochen is particularly concerned with when things go wrong, for example noting the penances associated with mistreatment of the Eucharist, such as spilling the chalice, or when someone vomits up the Host because they are ill or, worse, drunk. Another major concern is the baptism of a child who is in danger of immediate death, a crisis regularly encountered by midwives as well as priests. Monte Rochen notes that in such cases, not only women but also atheists, Jews, pagans and heretics can baptise a child. However, only pure water should be used: children should never be baptised in meat broth, he says, but baptism in a well is allowed in extreme circumstances. The early owner of this copy merely noted that children should not be baptized a second time, and that prayers should be said over them in church. Pre-Elizabethan English imprints, of all sorts, are now commercially rare. This ed. is very scarce: OCLC notes Princeton and Simon Fraser only in North America; of the 1502 de Worde edition, OCLC notes three copies in North America, at Simon Fraser, Illinois and the New York Society Library. Lowndes IV, 1590. Ames II, 149. ESTC S111296.

Composed in the 1330s by Guido de Monte Rochen (also Monte Rocherii or Roterio), the Manipulus curatorum met the growing need for pastoral guidance and the training of priests in the wake of the Fourth Lateran Council (1215). Aimed at simple curates and written in a suitably unadorned style, the work is in three parts: the first on six of the seven sacraments; the second on penance (the remaining sacrament and a matter of particular complexity for parish priests); and the third on catechesis. 'Although Guido's manual had much in common with contemporary pastoralia, it stood out from the pack by adapting and simplifying the genre's basic features to serve its audience more effectively. The Handbook is long enough to be comprehensive, but short enough to be truly useful' (Thayer and Lualdi, p.xxiv). 'More than 250 manuscript copies of the Handbook for Curates are still extant, but it truly came into its own with the advent of printing. Between circa 1468 and 1501, some 122 editions of the Handbook rolled off European presses both big and small, making it the eleventh most printed title in the period' (ibid., pp.xiiiiv). Only the Inquisition in the Catholic world and the Reformation in the Protestant put an end to its widespread use, as witnessed by the anti-papal deletions in our copy. The present edition was the third to be printed in England, preceded by two from the press of Richard Pynson (1498 and 1500). All English editions (of which there are seven, the last printed in 1517) are very rare, with copies often found imperfect. Of the present edition, only three other complete copies are recorded by ESTC (BL, Glasgow, Rylands). Two imperfect copies are at Stonyhurst and Illinois, and Bodley holds a made-up copy of the 1517 edition with two quires supplied from the 1502. They are also very scarce in commerce no complete copies of the present edition appear in auction records, and of the others we can trace only the York MinsterDoheny copy of the 1509 edition (last sold in 2024, $9500), the Stonyhurst copy of the 1500 edition (sold Sotheby's 2003, £6600), and another copy of the same (sold Sotheby's 1983, £1078) in the last century. ESTC S111275; STC 12472. See Anne T.Thayer and Katherine J.Lualdi, introduction to Guido of Monte Rochen, Handbook for Curates (2011). Language: Latin.
