Recenzje

Mark Chinca has drawn our attention to a fascinating, changing psycho-spiritual medieval and early modern tradition of contemplation... his expansive argument on the development of modes of meditation on the inevitability of death across five centuries and as many languages is indeed a remarkable accomplishment.
