This chapter discusses the text in Mirror for Priests, which was written by priest Albert of Diessen. It highlights the malleability of Christian pastoral expectations, especially when many authors wrote many works that are addressed to different audiences. Albert made authoritative texts available to less-educated clerics to provide a succinct and manageable guide to the essential aspects of the care of souls and the management of a parish community. The chapter lists some of Albert's sources and references for the Mirror for Priests, such as Augustine, Gregory the Great, and John of Freiburg's Summa. It elaborates on the structures of the different versions of the Mirror. |
