The book presents critical editions and structural analyses of three hitherto neglected sermons of Henry Totting of Oyta: De passione Domini, De assumpcione Marie and De nativitate Iohannis Baptiste. A biographical study on the author, who was active in Paris, Prague, Erfurt and Vienna in the 14th century, completes the volume.
The book presents Henry Totting of Oyta (d. 1397), a late medieval intellectual who was active in Erfurt, Prague, Paris, and Vienna. In spite of the fact that he is a well-known figure, the majority of his works remain unedited in manuscripts. The authors analyse and provide the first editions of three of his sermons: On the Passion, On the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, and On the Nativity of John the Baptist. Totting wrote each of them at a different point in his career, for a different audience and in a different style. They contribute to our knowledge about late medieval devotion and illustrate the transformation of late medieval intellectual life in Central Europe.
