medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Dear All, and especially Dear Eliana,
Yes, for me to mention but one, un augurone!! For other I would like
to recommend this book knowing more or less what is in there because I
have been privileged to hear several Eliana's papers on the subjects
of this book. It will certainly be of interest whether you are
interested in female lay piety, vernacular religious poetry or
medieval preaching.

> This book examines the audiences and languages of Dominican sermons
> in late medieval Italy. It is a thorough analysis of how Latinate
> theological culture interacted with popular religious devotion. In
> particular it assesses the role of vernacular theology in written
> and visual forms. Eliana Corbari defines vernacular theology as a
> form of theology that is based neither on a Latin scholastic model
> nor a monastic one. It is a ?third dimension? of theology which was
> accessible to the laity, and in particular women, through their
> attendance at sermons and the reading of vernacular works (in this
> case, medieval Italian treatises, hagiography, and sermons). Through
> painstaking manuscript work, Corbari makes an excellent contribution
> to sermon studies, gender studies, medieval theology, and
> codicology. She demonstrates that Dominican friars preached to an
> active contingent of laywomen and members of confraternities, who
> not only attended these sermons but re-read them and disseminated
> them, also through book production, to the wider Florentine community.
