Treatise Of Love
The ''Treatise of Love'' (''Tretyse of Loue'') is an English prose text first printed around 1493. Its printing was the work of Wynkyn de Worde, who took over William Caxton's printing business in 1491, and printed the ''Treatise'' before he began publishing under his own name in 1494. Drawing greatly on the ''Ancrene Wisse'', the text contains religious advice addressed to an audience of aristocratic women. Contents The text contains three main parts that deal with divine love, which are largely based on the early thirteenth-century ''Ancrene Wisse'', and, following an "intermediate conclusion," seven brief sections dealing with other aspects of (religious) love. Besides the ''Ancrene Wisse'', other source texts are the '' Planctus Mariae'' (usually ascribed to Bernard of Clairvaux) and the ''Hours of the Cross'' from the ''Meditations on the Life of Christ''. Like the ''Ancrene Wisse'', its religious advice is written for the purpose of aristocratic women (one specific but unknow ...

Wynkyn De Worde
Wynkyn de Worde (died 1534) was a printer and publisher in London known for his work with William Caxton, and is recognised as the first to popularise the products of the printing press in England. Name Wynkyn de Worde was a German immigrant to England. His name is given in the forms ''Wynkyn de Worde'', ''Wynken de Worde'', ''Wynkyn de Word'', ''Wijnkijn de Worde'', and ''Winandus van Worden'' ("Wynkyn" is a diminutive of "Wynand"). It is also given 15 times in the sacrist's roll of Westminster Abbey and in city records as variants of "John Wynkyn", including ''John Wynkyn'', ''Johannes Wynkyn'', ''Jan Wynkyn'', and ''Jan van Wynkyn''. He is also recorded as ''Willelmo Wynkyn'' ("William Wynkyn") once and as ''Mr. Wylkyns'' eight times. His son Richard is recorded as ''Richard Wynkyn'' and ''Rycharde de Worde''. Some authors have therefore concluded that his real name was John Wynkyn (or Wynand) and that "de Worde" was "merely a place name," while others have concluded tha ...

Passion (Christianity)
In Christianity, the Passion (from the Latin verb ''patior, passus sum''; "to suffer, bear, endure", from which also "patience, patient", etc.) is the short final period in the life of Jesus Christ. Depending on one's views, the "Passion" may include, among other events, Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem, his cleansing of the Temple, his anointing, the Last Supper, Jesus' agony in the Garden, his arrest, his Sanhedrin trial, his trial before Pontius Pilate, his crucifixion and his death on Good Friday, his burial, and the resurrection of Jesus. Those parts of the four canonical Gospels that describe these events are known as the "Passion narratives". In some Christian communities, commemoration of the Passion also includes remembrance of the sorrow of Mary, the mother of Jesus, on the Friday of Sorrows. The word ''passion'' has taken on a more general application and now may also apply to accounts of the suffering and death of Christian martyrs, sometimes using the ...
