A Ryght Profytable Treatyse Compendiously Drawen Out Of Many and Dyvers Wrytynges Of Holy Men

A Ryght Profytable Treatyse Compendiously Drawen Out Of Many and Dyvers Wrytynges Of Holy Men by Thomas Betson welcomes listeners into an intimate medieval guide to prayer, written "in our moder tonge" for both religious and lay devotion. This compact religion tract compiles meditations, translations and practical explanations of staple prayers—the Pater Noster, Ave, Credo—and a variety of other devout petitions and instructions designed to shape the mind toward virtuous occupation. Rooted in the late medieval spiritual tradition and drawing on authorities such as the famous doctor Jean Gerson, the work reflects the devotional priorities of pre-Reformation England and the early age of printing (circa 1500, associated with Wynkyn de Worde and Caxton’s house). The language and tone preserve Middle English texture while offering accessible spiritual counsel, making it an important witness to popular piety and the history of religious instruction. Ideal for students of medieval spirituality, the history of the book, clergy, or anyone seeking contemplative, historically grounded prayer literature, this audiobook brings a rare, early devotional compendium to life—perfect for quiet reflection or scholarly listening in the religion genre.
