 Life of Soul

Life of Soul (Lyfe of Soule) is a short anonymous prose tract written in the late Middle English of the English Midlands about 1400 or a little earlier.The tract takes the form of a catechetical dialogue, or at least begins that way, one interlocutor falling silent about halfway through; of the three surviving versions, version L represents itself as a conversation between two "friends in Christ"; versions A and H replace this pair with a questioning sister and answering brother and a questioning son and answering father respectively.
