First English translation of seminal essays on heresy and other
aspects of medieval religious history. In the field of medieval
religious history, few scholars have matched the originality of the
German academic Herbert Grundmann (1902-1970). Trained at the
University of Leipzig and president of the Monumenta Germaniae
Historica from 1959 until his death, Grundmann published a series
of brilliant books and articles that fundamentally reshaped how
historians of culture and religion conceptualized the medieval
past. Yet although later generations of scholarshave since
approached their research from vantage points shaped by his
arguments, few of his writings have been previously accessible to
an Anglophone audience. This volume presents translations of six of
Grundmann's most significant essays on the intertwined themes of
medieval heresy, literacy, and inquisition. Together, they offer
new access to Grundmann's scholarship, one which will catalyze new
perspectives on the medieval religious past and enable a fresh
consideration of his intellectual legacy in the twenty-first
century. JENNIFER KOLPACOFF DEANE is Professor of History at the
University of Minnesota, Morris.
