- Description
- The suffering of Custance in MLT echoes Innocent III's description of human life in his "De miseria condicionis humane"; the tale's end, which indicates that Custance's humility will ultimately be rewarded, draws from the pseudosource of the uncompleted companion volume to the pessimistic "De miseria."
