CONTEXT
/
ABSTRACT
Life of Peter, a lay brother from the abbey of Villers in 18 chapters. De vita contains little concrete information about Peter, but focuses on his spiritual progress. Particular attention is paid to his excessive ascetism as an extreme form of imitatio Christi (e.g. stigmata), his devotion to Mary and his mystical experiences. Finally, the Vita Petri contains a remarkable passage in which Peter revolts against Christ, but in the end reconciles with him.
