Fresh investigations into heresy after 1300, demonstrating its
continuing importance and influence. From the Gregorian reforms to
the Protestant Reformation, heresies and heretics helped shape the
religious, political, and institutional structures of medieval
Europe. Within this larger history of religious ferment, the late
medieval period presents a particularly dynamic array of heterodox
movements, dissident modes of thought, and ecclesiastical
responses. Yet recent debates about the nature of heresy in the
twelfth and thirteenth centuries have too easily created an
impression of the period after 1300 as merely an epilogue to the
high medieval story. This volume takes the history of heresy in
late medieval Europe (1300-1500) on its own terms. From Paris to
Prague and fromnorthern Germany to Italy and even extending as far
as Ethiopia, the essays shed new light on a vibrant world of
audacious beguines, ardent Joachites, Spiritual Franciscans,
innovative mystics, lay prophets, idiosyncratic alchemists, daring
magicians, and even rebellious princes locked in battles with the
papacy. As befits a collection honoring the pioneering career of
Robert E. Lerner, the studies collected here combine close readings
of manuscripts andother sources with a grounding in their
political, religious and intellectual contexts, to offer fresh
insights into heresies and heretics in late medieval Europe.
