- Description
- Reads FrT as an exemplum against greed that is informed by commonplaces drawn from sermon tradition, specifically the "pulpit practice of late medieval mendicants." Aligns details of the plot and rhetoric in FrT with parallels found in works by John Bromyard, William Peraldus, Caesarius of Heisterbach, Guillaume de Deguileville, and others.
