This volume advances the utility of Morton W. Bloomfield et al.,
Incipits of Latin Works on the Virtues and Vices, 1100-1500 A.D.
(1979) by correcting, supplementing, adding to, or deleting
information in this commonly-used reference guide to medieval Latin
manuscripts of an ethical or pastoral character. Careful
attention is paid to updating the identification of texts and their
authorship and references to critical editions of works on the
vices and virtues. Many new manuscript witnesses and over 500
new texts are added to those found in the earlier catalogue and a
number of short texts on vices and virtues are edited here for the
first time.

Every new treatment of the seven
deadly sins as contemporary sociological or psychological
phenomena, or in popularized form in the print media and the visual
arts, can be considered part of the reception history of both the
vices and the scholarship on the sins - making it all the more
urgent for medieval scholarship to re-examine the vitally important
role the vices played in the period of their broadest and original
dissemination. In spite of many recent treatments of the vices in
the Middle Ages, for modern scholarship to a large degree only one
book has served as a comprehensive guide to this area of medieval
thought: Morton Bloomfield's pioneering The Seven Deadly
Sins, published more than fifty years ago.
The present collection of essays
offers the best new scholarship on the vices and aims thus both to
re-examine the work begun by Bloomfield and to suggest
possibilities for future research in this field in the coming
decades. The areas touched on by the essays are numerous: from
late-antique and late-medieval demonology to scholastic analytic
philosophy, from sins of the tongue to 'motions' of the heart, from
penitentials and sermons to illuminations in bibles
moralisées and works in the conflictus genre,
from discourse analysis to textual criticism, from gender and queer
studies to social history and Begriffsgeschichte, properly
so called. The study of the vices is ripe for participation in all
these forms of theoretical discussion and cultural criticism. The
contributors have not attempted to be exhaustive in any of them,
but rather to point the way to the fruitfulness of further
treatments of the vices in medieval culture.

We have witnessed, in the past thirty years in particular, a rapid growth in the number of studies on the vices and virtues in the Middle Ages and on individual vices or virtues or on works containing information about them - and nevertheless there is almost no scholarship on the tractatus de vitiis et virtutibus as the one medieval genre devoted exclusively to these moral constructs. Newhauser, thus, has taken on the task of establishing the genre, more or less for the first time, and this pioneering work has also essentially influenced the goals of his volume: if it is impossible at this stage to assess with finality the problems involved in the transmission of representatives of the genre due to their overwhelming number and the incompleteness of bibliographic aids to collections of medieval manuscripts, one can nevertheless begin to sketch the outlines of the genre, its historical development, and its importance within the corpus of medieval religious literature in sufficient detail and with enough attention to genre theory to serve as a guide for future research in this vast field of literature and to draw attention to some of the areas in which medievalists have much to gain by further investigations of representatives of the genre.
