Richard Newhauser examines here aspects of the moral tradition of medieval thought, specifically the construction of the seven deadly sins, their offspring, and related schematizations of immorality in the Latin West. The first section looks at the contexts in which the seven deadly sins (or nine accessory sins) are found in medieval Latin, English, and German texts, while the second and third focus on the sin of avarice and the concept of sinful curiosity.
