- Description
- Camargo details how the Pardoner "pointedly rejects every tenet" of moral instruction found in chapter 1 of Waleys's "De modo componendi sermones" and shows how the treatise discloses flaws in the Pardoner's rhetorical techniques. The Pardoner "may have been" self-deluded about his verbal prowess. The collection appends Camargo's translation of chapter 1 of Waleys's treatise.
