| Abstract | Geographies of Orthodoxy: Mapping the English Pseudo-Bonaventuran Lives of Christ, c.1350-1550 is an AHRC-funded Queen's, Belfast-St Andrews project (2007-10) which promises to reshape understanding of late medieval vernacular and religious textual culture through codicological and textual analysis of the entire manuscript corpus of English pseudo-Bonaventuran Meditationes vitae Christi, a tradition central to orthodox Christological representations from the later Middle Ages to the Reformation. In this session project members will talk about issues of audience, monastic and lay culture, a reconsideration of the genre of Christological literary mirrors and of the debatable phenomenon of vernacular theology.
