Description
John Henderson examines the relationship between religion and society in late medieval Florence through the vehicle of the religious confraternity, one of the most ubiquitous and popular forms of lay association throughout Europe. This book provides a fascinating account of the development of confraternities in relation to other communal and ecclesiastical institutions in Florence. It is one of the most detailed analyses of charity in late medieval Europe.
[A] long-awaited book. . . . [It is] the most complete survey of confraternities and charity, not only for Florence, but for any Italian city state to date. . . . This book recovers more vividly than other recent works what it meant to be a member of a confraternity in the late middle ages.--Samuel K. Cohn, Jr., Economic History Review Henderson offers new and fascinating information. . . . A stimulating and suggestive book that deserves a wide readership. --Gervase Rosser, Times Higher Education SupplementEXTRA 10 % discount with code: EXTRA
