Publisher's Synopsis

The Ars Moriendi, Editio Princeps, Circa 1450 (1881) is a book edited by William Harry Rylands. It is a reproduction of the first printed edition of the Ars Moriendi, a medieval Christian text that provides guidance on how to die well. The original manuscript was written in the 15th century and was widely circulated during the late Middle Ages. The book is a valuable resource for scholars of medieval literature and provides insight into the religious and cultural beliefs of the time. Rylands' edition of the Ars Moriendi includes an introduction and notes that provide historical context and analysis of the text. Overall, this book is a fascinating glimpse into the medieval mindset and the rituals surrounding death and dying.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
