The 'Conditions of Eligibility' in 'The Wohunge of ure Lauerd'
The article examines the use of the 'topos' of Christ's eligibility as a lover in 'The Wohunge of ure Lauerd', noting parallels in the related early thirteenth-century Middle English works Ancrene Wisse and 'Epistel of Meidenhad', and also (as identified by Nicole Beriou and David d'Avray) in later thirteenth-century Paris marriage sermons. It traces the historical development of the 'topos' from the late patristic period onwards, and argues that the parallels between the 'Ancrene Wisse' Group works and the later Paris sermons point to a common origin in the preaching of the schools c. 1200.

Abstract
The article examines the use of the 'topos' of Christ's eligibility as a lover in 'The Wohunge of ure Lauerd', noting parallels in the related early thirteenth-century Middle English works Ancrene Wisse and 'Epistel of Meidenhad', and also (as identified by Nicole Beriou and David d'Avray) in later thirteenth-century Paris marriage sermons. It traces the historical development of the 'topos' from the late patristic period onwards, and argues that the parallels between the 'Ancrene Wisse' Group works and the later Paris sermons point to a common origin in the preaching of the schools c. 1200.
