Best known for his works on the mystical practice of meditative recollection, Franciscan friar Francisco de Osuna published his candid manual for lay life, *Norte de los estados* (*North Star*) in 1531 before leaving Spain to reside in Antwerp. True to its title, the book was intended as a *North Star* that would dependably guide readers through the stages of youth, marriage, and widowhood. Although the historical literature on these themes is dominated by the works of his humanist contemporaries, Erasmus of Rotterdam and Juan Luis Vives, Osunaâ (TM)s close attention to womenâ (TM)s experiences and his critical awareness of social class are distinctive. This first modern edition in Spanish restores Osunaâ (TM)s reformist voice and expansive vision to the animated conversations on marriage and family in which he engaged. His detailed attention to practical questions and his intense spiritualization of spousal love make it an invaluable resource for understanding conjugal relationships in the popular imagination of the early modern world.

This first English translation of Le Roman de Waldef makes a significant representative of the French literature of medieval England accessible for the first time. Its wide-ranging content provides an ideal introduction to a number of themes in medieval literature, making it suitable for a variety of undergraduate and graduate courses. The fast-moving romance plot of this early thirteenth-century tale recounts the ancestry and exploits of Waldef and his two sons, set against a history of pre-Conquest England. The narrative shares themes and incident types with other important insular romances, including the Lai of Haveloc, Boeve de Haumtone, and Gui de Warewic. Waldef's scope, interest in battle, and political stratagems bear reading alongside medieval chronicles, while secret love affairs connect it with other romance literature of the period, and adventures across a wide area of the known world provide affinities with medieval travel narrative.

What is the gospel? How well can we articulate the gospel? If our gospel is solely about forgiveness of sin and entry into heaven in the hereafter, we have missed the true substance of the gospel. The gospel is more than a private spiritual experience, the gospel is all-encompassing in its nature and scope. Contrary to what many Christians might think, the gospel has significant ramifications for the here and now.
