About This Item
New York: Zone Books, 1998. Hardcover. VG / VG, ex-art library with a spine label and bookplate on pastedown endpaper.. Black cloth boards, Orange/tan/brown pictorial DJ, 601 pp., 5 color plates, profuse bw illustrations. From the DJ: adds a new dimension to the study of female spirituality, with its nuanced account of the changing roles of images in medieval monasticism from the twelfth century to the Reformation. In nine essays embracing the histories of art, religion, and literature, Jeffrey Hamburger explores the interrelationships between the visual arts and female spirituality in the context of the cura monialium, the pastoral care of nuns. Used as instruments of instruction and inspiration, images occupied a central place in debates over devotional practice, monastic reform, and mystical expression.
