Mary of Oignies (1177-1213) was one of the first holy women to
transform religious life in the late twelfth and early thirteenth
centuries. Living as a beguine and a free anchoress she guided
those who came to speak with her, both high clerics and common
people alike. In the oral world of medieval Christianity one
disregarded her word at considerable risk. This volume contains all
of the relevant medieval sources on Mary of Oignies, translated by
Margot King and Hugh Feiss OSB. They include: the Life written by
her confessor, James of Vitry, and the Supplement thereof by Thomas
of Cantimpre; the liturgical office of her feast-day; and the
'History of the Priory of Oignies'. Also included are an
introductory essay about her life and significance, written by
Anneke Mulder-Bakker; a study about Mary as a 'friend to the
saints' by Brenda Bolton; and the manuscript transmission of her
Life, by Suzan Folkerts. The volume therefore provides a
comprehensive 'companion' to Mary of Oignies and her wider
significance in medieval and modern scholarship.
