A good place to start would be with the work of Andre' Vauchez who has done
much on the religious practices of the laity. There is a collection of his
essays called *The Laity in the Middle Ages: Religious Beliefs and
Devotional Practices* published in 1993 which may provide you with a
bibliography.
