Trial of Joan of ArcPaperback
No account is more critical to our understanding of Joan of Arc than the contemporary record of her trial in 1431. The trial record, which sometimes preserves Joan's very words, unveils her life, character, visions, and motives in fascinating detail. Convened at Rouen and directed by bishop Pierre Cauchon, the trial culminated in Joan's public execution for heresy.
Recent scholarship dates this text to the year of the trial itself, thereby lending it a greater claim to authority than had traditionally been assumed. Here is one of our richest sources for the life of a medieval woman.This new translation, the first in fifty years, is based on the full record of the trial proceedings in Latin. Contemporary documents copied into the trial furnish a guide to political developments in Joan's career--from her capture to the attempts to control public opinion following her execution.
