Robert de Gretham

Robert de Gretham, alternatively Robert de Greetham, (fl. 13th century) is an Anglo-Norman literary person and cleric[1] noted for Etude sur le Miroir ou les Evangiles des domnees.[2][3][4] The work was directly intended for the private devotions of Lady Elena of Quency, but a larger audience is implied by the author addressing a masculine plural. The work intended to act as a "Looking Glass for the Soul", hence the title referring to a mirror.[5] He is also said to have written Corset on popular theology and dedicated it to an Alain and his wife.[6]
