Abstract
This chapter considers sloth at a moment of conceptual change in the later Middle Ages. The shift in emphasis from soul to body implicates sloth’s relationship to the passions and humors. In relation to sloth, pastoral descriptions tackle the implications of physiology and the constraints of the body and human culpability.
