TEAMS blurb:

The legend of Theophilus is the most famous medieval miracle story.  A good man gives in to Vain Glory, sells his soul to the Devil, has a terrible crisis of conscience, and is saved by the Virgin. The story is translated into all European languages and appears in stained glass and sculpture of the most famous churches. Gautier de Coinci’s long and colorful version of the legend opens a door that allows students to see the medieval period’s greatest fears and highest hopes.
