medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
As to readings, from the top of my head:
P. Pourrat, La spiritualite chretienne mentions that the devotion to the
manger / Child Jesus did not start with St. Francis, but it is already
present in St. Bernard, which would move your dates back with half a
century. Pourrat's is an old book, published early 20th c., but still
worth consulting as to texts and basic analysis.
I don't have the book at hand, neither have I Bernard, but Pourrat does
have a long section on Bernard, of course. I think there is an English
translation of Pourrat, too.
I hope this morsel is of help.
Best,
G. Gereby

Dear Fellow List Members,
If any of you have any suggestions for readings re. the Devotion to the
child
Jesus or suggested sources for images where a local cult has grown up I
would
greatly appreciate hearing from you. Since most of these cults began
around
the mid 1200s I believe, hopefully some of you will have suggestions for
me.
A friend just checked 75 art history books for me and found almost
nothing!
Thanks, in advance,
ann
