The book is written in English and is intended for those who are interested in the history of religious practices and the role of women in the church during the medieval period. It is a valuable resource for scholars, historians, and anyone who is interested in learning more about the religious practices of this time period.1873. This rare work was written for the Sisters of Sion, a religious community which existed at Isleworth on the banks of the Thames from the year 1415 until the Dissolution of the Monasteries, which was revived in its old quarters during the short reign of Queen Mary and which still exists as a distinctively English community of ladies at Lisbon. The Mirror of our Lady consists of a Rationale of Divine Service in general, with a translation and explanation of the Hours and Masses of our Lady, as they were used at Sion. Based on his research Blunt is inclined to believe that the author of this MS. was Dr. Thomas Gascoign of Merton College, Oxford.
