This is a study of the intellectual history and religious culture of        German-speaking Europe in the late Middle Ages. Its focus is the bilingual oeuvre of        the Franciscan friar Marquard von Lindau (d. 1392), arguably the most widely-read        author in the German language before the Reformation. His most successful works were        those in which he considered pragmatic issues of Christian life, aimed at a broad        reading public that stretched from monks and nuns living the contemplative life        inenclosed convents; to his confreres, novices and students in the mendicant orders;        and the literate citizens of the burgeoning mercantile centres. It is three of these        pragmatic issues, central to late medieval religious life, around which this book is        structured: the Passion of Christ, the sacramentof the Eucharist, and the devotion        to the Virgin Mary. The dominant approaches taken towards each of these in the        fourteenth-century church represented problematic challenges to Marquard; challenges        which he met in a distinctive and influential manner, by no means in accordance with        the affectively-charged devotional practices encouraged by many within and without        his order, and so often considered normative for late medieval religious culture.          The original voice with which Marquard spoke ismade clear through the location of        his oeuvre within the pan-European context of the debates in which his works        participate. The ethos his works projected redetermined the trajectory of        intellectual life in Germany into the fifteenth century and beyond.
