After the State and the Church, the most well organized membership
system of medieval and early modern Europe was the confraternity.
In cities, towns, and villages it would have been difficult for
someone not to be a member of a confraternity, the recipient of its
charity, or aware of its presence in the community. In A Companion
to Medieval and Early Modern Confraternities, Konrad Eisenbichler
brings together an international group of scholars to examine
confraternities from various perspectives: their origins and
development, their devotional practices, their charitable
activities, and their contributions to literature, music, and art.
The result is a picture of confraternities as important venues for
the acquisition of spiritual riches, material wealth, and social
capital. Contributors to this volume: Alyssa Abraham, Davide
Adamoli, Christopher F. Black, Dominika Burdzy, David D'Andrea,
Konrad Eisenbichler, Anna Esposito, Federica Francesconi, Marina
Gazzini, Jonathan Glixon, Colm Lennon, William R. Levin, Murdo J.
MacLeod, Nerida Newbigin, Dylan Reid, Gervase Rosser, Nicholas
Terpstra, Paul Trio, Anne-Laure Van Bruaene, Beata Wojciechowska,
and Danilo Zardin.
