Joan of Arc : the early debate

Joan of Arc arrived at the French court claiming to be sent by God to come to the aid of the dauphin Charles. Most studies of Joan focus on her political expediency, but the starting point of this book is her assertion that she was sent by God. It presents an exploration of the application of the Catholic doctrine of "discetio spirituum" (the discernment of spirits) to her case, and of her reception as a visionary woman. The author examines contemporary theological documents which show genuine debate about Joan's mission and whether she was diabolically or divinely inspired, also taking into account the two major literary works dealing with her, Christine de Pizan's "Ditie de Jehanne d'Arc" and Martin Le Franc's "Le Champion de dames" as well as Joan's own letter to the English. Appendices supply translations of pertinent Latin and French texts.
