This is a collection of pioneering studies by a distinguished
transatlantic team of scholars on a neglected yet canonical
tradition of medieval English literature. From the fourteenth to
the sixteenth centuries and beyond, the remarkable
'pseudo-Bonaventuran' tradition, flowing from the Latin
Meditationes vitae Christi (and thought, wrongly, to have been
composed by St Bonaventure), gave Europe orthodox models for how to
represent, know, and follow Jesus Christ. The Meditationes, in a
huge variety of Latin and vernacular versions, invite their readers
and listeners to imagine themselves present within the Gospel
narrative. How to live, what to believe, how to feel, and how to be
saved: this eloquent mainstream tradition had an impact on the
public and private lives of English people more profound and
lasting than any text save the Bible itself. For many, it even did
the Bible's work. The tradition of the Meditationes provides us
with a gauge of lived religious sensibility without equal in the
English later Middle Ages. Deriving from the Queen's Belfast-St
Andrews AHRC-funded research project, Geographies of Orthodoxy:
Mapping the English Pseudo-Bonaventuran Lives of Christ, c.
1350-1550, this volume questions and revises previous descriptions
of the devotional, cultural, and political contexts in which
pseudo-Bonaventuran Lives of Christ were produced, circulated,
read, and understood. The period spanning the rise and repression
of Lollardy, the ostensibly 'orthodox' fifteenth century, and the
Tudor Reformations will never look quite the same again.
