| Abstract | The research project 'Cities of Readers: Religious Literacies in the Long Fifteenth Century' aims at reconstructing the impact and the diffusion of religious readership and the making of religious knowledge among lay believers and to study their active role in this process. This session will focus in particular on the study of spaces and places of religious knowledge. The papers, ranging from domestic devotion in late medieval France and the Low Countries to Martin Waldseemüller's Universalis Cosmographia, discuss the possibilities and the consequences of a spatial approach to late medieval religious manifestations in a wide chronological and geographical framework. |
