medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and cultureA widely-read source and one that may be helpful is the c.1350 Meditations on the Life of Christ probably written by Giovanni di Callibus (aka John of Caulibus etc). You could also look at Holly Flora's The Devout Belief of Imagination (2009) and Sarah McNamer's Affective Meditation and the Invention of Medieval Compassion (2010) on this text.Diana Hiller********************************************************************** To join the list, send the message: subscribe medieval-religion YOUR NAME to: [log in to unmask] To send a message to the list, address it to: [log in to unmask] To leave the list, send the message: unsubscribe medieval-religion to: [log in to unmask] In order to report problems or to contact the list's owners, write to: [log in to unmask] For further information, visit our web site: http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/medieval-religionOn Mon, Feb 3, 2014 at 12:13 PM, Cormack, Margaret Jean <[log in to unmask]> wrote:

Can anyone direct me to discussions, especially primary sources, where medieval people are encouraged to envision and meditate on the crucifixion, and/or Mary´s pain observing it? I´m wondering when such forms of meditation became common, and whether they were limited to monasteries (I doubt it, but monks and nuns would perhaps be a primary 'audience'.)
