Description
Considers late medieval miscellanea and the "sensibility of the miscellaneous," using the concept of "heterarchy," and assessing Nicholas of Lyre’s discussion of the Psalter, the :Biblically licensed diversity" of CT (evident in ParsT, Ret, and MelP), and Reginald Pecock’s principle of "divine reason."
