Composed of a mixture of practical "how to" and theological instruction, the Handbook taught pastoral basics to everyday priests. As such, it is an essential and vibrant source on late medieval religion and parish practice, which this full-length translation makes available in English for the first time. The Handbook is divided into three parts: sacraments and their administration, the sacrament of penance, and basic catechesis. Together they reflect Guidoʹs mission to facilitate the fundamental duties priests were expected to fulfill for souls under their charge. Guido explains constituent parts of each sacrament, how each is done, who receives it, and what problems might arise in its practice. In step with broader religious currents of his day, Guido treats penance extensively, addressing topics from instances of the deadly sins to how to question penitents in confession. His Handbook concludes with explanations of the Creed, Lordʹs Prayer, and Ten Commandments for the benefit of his readers and their flocks Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and indexes Notes Print version record Subject Catholic Church -- Doctrines -- Early works to 1800 SUBJECT Catholic Church fast Subject Pastoral theology -- Catholic Church -- Early works to 1800 Electronic books. e-books.
