Avril Henry

The fourteenth-century Speculum Humanae Salvationis is a guide to fundamental Christian teaching as revealed through the lives of the Virgin and Christ. Like its predecessor, Biblia Pauperum, it is a compendium of typological stories, both Biblical and legendary. Popular for two centuries, it exists in at least 394 manuscripts, mostly in Latin but also in German, French, Dutch and Czech. Its English translation, The Mirour of Mans Saluacioune, is a unique manuscript dating from the early fifteenth century and here, Avril Henry provides here the first critical edition of this Middle English text.
