What is it about?

This article identifies and examines possible sermons written by Isabel de Villena (1430-90). The sermons studied are two preached by Christ in the Temple. Christ was considered a model preacher. These sermon texts cannot be found in other Lives of Christ. Villena works on other oral sources, particularly Holy Week liturgies called the Tenebrae to create her 'sermons'.
