Description
This book examines the audiences and languages of Dominican sermons in late medieval Italy, analysing how Latinate theological culture interacted with popular religious devotion. It demonstrates that Dominican friars preached to an active contingent of laywomen, usually members of confraternities, who not only attended these sermons but re-read them and also disseminated them through book production to the wider Florentine community.
