Description

This session explores the literary and cultural manifestations of devotion to the Holy Name of Jesus in late-medieval Europe. It traces the cult of the Holy Name and its less formal aspects in Anglo-Norman poetry and Middle English dream vision, as well as religious miscellanies, prayer books, liturgical texts and material artefacts.
