| Abstract | One of three linked sessions on religious miscellanies. This session focuses on religious miscellanies as vehicles for the transmission of ideas. Capern discusses connections between manuscript and print culture and the transmission of religious knowledge in women's religious miscellanies, 1500-1600. Denissen explores the role of print culture in the composition of The Tretyse of Love and on processes of miscellaneous compilation. McKeon analyses Durham Cathedral MS Hunter15 as a miscellany that synthesises and communicates scholarly ideas to a lay audience. Uphoff discusses late medieval miscellanies as evidence of active participation of lay people in religious textual culture. |
