| Abstract | In line with the session 'The Formation of the Religious Self I', this session traces the formative elements in later medieval religious pedagogical traditions, showing how the high medieval monastic discourses on the composition of 'homo interior' were received and transformed in the mendicant orders and in the modern devotion movement, and how nineteenth-century mediaevalists reconstructed such visions to shape their own essentialist interpretation of the Middle Ages. |
