I think I read the Claire Fanger edition which is really well translated and edited, if you can access it through a library: John of Morigny’s Flowers of Heavenly Teaching: An Edition and Commentary. With Nicholas Watson. Toronto: Pontifical Institute of Medieval Studies Press, 2015.
I may do that. Though my interest was specifically in the grammar and syntax more than the content. I've been studying the Auckinleck Manuscript for about 6 months on my own free will and I'm dying to find works of prose (it's all poetry)
Hey, I just wanted to let you know that your writing on the intersection of magic, gender, and medieval beliefs is absolutely captivating! The narrative of John and Bridget is so compellingly told. Such a great piece. Thank you for sharing.
Ugh, the manuscript is in French. I was hoping to read it directly without a translation

Loved this! Great writing
Thank you Ellen! I enjoyed writing this one
I think she just decided that she didn’t need demons to terrify her brother. She could do that by herself.
Have you read any Camille Paglia?
She goes into detail as to why history went this way. Why the religions didn’t want women to have magic.
That the books are mundane actually makes them more interesting.
It certainly makes them more human!
Well, if enough people believe in something, it can become 'real'.
"If God did not exist, it would be necessary to invent him" There is nothing more human than that impulse.
Endings are hard. This one is brilliant.
Thanks Clifford, I had fun with this one!

Thank you, Jon!!
This was a delight to read!
Thanks so much, Wake!
*voice of Mary whispering* "Blue mohawk... WoooOOOOoooo... Blue mohawk!"
OF COURSE!
Just what the Dr ordered. Or should I say wrote? Great post. I chuckled and cringed simultaneously at the dinner party sketch. 😬
I think about that sketch all the time!
