SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
The contributions to 'Discovering the riches of the word. Religious reading in late Medieval and early modern Europe' offer an innovative approach to the study of religious reading from a long term and geographically broad perspective, covering the period from the thirteenth to the seventeenth century and with a specific focus on the fifteenth and the sixteenth centuries. 0Challenging traditional research paradigms, the contributions argue that religious reading in this long fifteenth century should be described in terms of continuity. They make clear that in spite of confessional divides, numerous reading practices continued to exist among medieval and early modern readers, as well as among Catholics and Protestants, and that the two groups in certain cases even shared the same religious texts
