How did these works retain their popularity, who was writing them, and why? To address these questions, this article compares two early sixteenth-century English printed pilgrim guidebooks. It examines their distinctive features, charts their authors' careers and social and professional networks, and identifies, for the first time, the author of The Pylgrymage of Sir Richarde Guylforde, printed by Richard Pynson in 1511. It reveals the different ways in which two educated and eminently well-connected clerics adapted a conventional literary genre to address shared concerns and interests. Both works demonstrate how humanist learning, religious reformism, heresy, and new ideas about the nature and purpose of travel were reshaping religiously orthodox conceptions of pilgrimage before the Reformation.

It considers Scrope not just as rebel but also as churchman, archbishop, and saint. Its contributors sensibly resist making once-and-for-all ...

These three papers look at ways of praying the Pater Noster in the later medieval period.
The first paper looks at how the existing orthodox commentaries on the prayer were "Lollardised" and modified to suit their community, analysing this within the
tradition of vernacular commentaries on the prayer.
Using evidence from wall paintings, the second paper looks at how the Lord’s Prayer was promoted and deployed in parishes following the Fourth Lateran
Council’s catechetical imperative that all adults should know the prayer.
The last paper looks at prayer beads, commonly known as Paternosters, and how these were treated in wills. In particular, how prayer beads were bequeathed
in comparison with books and general religious paraphernalia, and reflecting on what this shows about how these people may have prayed.
