I second this recommendation, and even if you are looking for the sources
themselves, rather than these excerpts, his list of sources would give you a
good list to start with. My students are mostly enjoying it and responding
pretty well to the issues that Shinners presents.

There is a new collection of sources in translation available that might
work very nicely in terms of lay piety. It is:
_Medieval Popular Religion, 1000-1500_, ed. John Shinners, Readings in
Medieval Civilizations and Cultures (Peterborough, Ont.: Broadview
Press,
1997). ISBN: 1-55111-133-0. It is available in paperback.
