About
The late Middle English "Weye of Paradys" and its French source "La Voie de Paradis" use the theme of the allegorical journey to Paradise. Essentially they are popular guides to confession, adaptations for the layman of more specialized works in Latin such as Raymond of Pennaforte's "Summa de Poenitentia," This edition presents critical texts of both "The Weye of Paradys" and "La Voie de Paradis" and analyzes the relations of the English text with its immediate (French) and distant (Latin) sources. This work makes the English and French texts available in print for the first time and places them in the wider field of popular penitential literature.
