Seventeen previously published papers, here updated and revised, and onehitherto unpublished esssay explore the medieval notion of the SevenDeadly Sins and several aspects of medieval sermons. These scholarlystudies examine how the commonplace of seven chief vices was analyzedin scholastic theology and used in preaching and in hearing confession.The influence of one major Summa de vitiis on other works of itskind is investigated in some detail. In the field of medieval preaching, the author examines sermon collections, academic speech acts, sermonsfor saints, and preachers' use of proverbs in French. Several works byEnglish Dominican authors, particularly Fishacre, Bromyard, Holcot, andan ars praedicandi, are brought to light. The essays are based onfresh investigation of medieval manuscripts and accompanied by criticaleditions of the relevant texts.
