ISBN: 0520063295

Binding: Paper Back

Condition: New

In the period between 1200 and 1500 in western Europe, a number of religious women gained widespread veneration and even canonization as saints for their extraordinary devotion to the Christian eucharist, supernatural multiplications of food and drink, and miracles of bodily manipulation, including stigmata and inedia (living without eating).

Medieval culture's valuation of memory over creativity (in contrast to modern tendencies) and its use of writing as a means to enhance memorization rather than as a replacement for memory, are major themes in Carruthers' work.
