The Latin sermons edited and translated       in this volume, preached by Robert Rypon (c. 1350–1421\/22) and collected       in a single manuscript, are both representative and exceptional       instances of the preaching during this period. Rypon was an English       Benedictine monk educated at Oxford and a member of Durham priory, where       he served a number of important roles. He preached regularly not only to       his monastic community but to lay and clerical audiences at Durham       cathedral and in parishes around Durham and Northumbria. Many of his       analogies, metaphors, and \u003ci\u003eexempla\u003c\/i\u003e are original or distinctive in       their development, but he applies all of them to traditional homiletic       concerns, such as the seven deadly sins, the acts of mercy, the       theological virtues, the Ten Commandments, prayer, and penance. He also       artfully employs the complex scholastic sermon form popular with       preachers trained at the universities. His sermons open a window onto       the world of preaching and the religious culture of late medieval       England. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e    \u003c\/p\u003e    \u003cp\u003e          \u003c\/p\u003e    \u003cp\u003e      This volume includes a selection of sermons preached on various Sundays       and other feast days during the liturgical year, along with seven       sermons preached on saints’ days, which include the feasts for John the       Baptist, Mary Magdalene, and Oswald, the seventh-century king of       Northumbria.
