Opis

Thomas Izbicki presents a new analysis of the medieval Church's teaching about and disciplined practice of the Eucharist.

Recenzje

'Izbicki begins with an indispensible guide to the canon lawyers themselves. The reader will find herself drawn back to this useful reference often as she gets lost among the thicket of references necessary to the field. … The material that Izbicki brings to light in this book offers a host of valuable information on the everyday devotional life of medieval Christians as they celebrated the central ritual of their religion. Any scholar of the great medieval drama will find this book an invaluable source for uncovering the rich religious life of a millennium of western civilisation.' Gary Macy, Journal of Ecclesiastical History
