Copsey, Richard, Carmel in Britain 3: The Hermits from Mount Carmel

Abstract

This collection of articles on the medieval Carmelites in western Europe is the fruit of many years of historical study which led its  author to become one of the prime experts on the Order’s provinces in the British Isles and beyond. The subjects covered range from  the community’s legendary history to the origins and development of the Scottish province and the English friars’ intellectual  contributions which survive in manuscript. Four of the thirteen articles are here printed for the first time, a further three have been  revised and six have been republished, making this important material much more easily accessible.
