Spirituality has been increasingly studied to determine the laity's role within Church history in the Middle Ages. However, secular literature is often overlooked as a source of understanding lay spirituality, even though it is a crucial aspect of cultural and social history. I fill this gap by analyzing nine important vernacular texts to uncover several distinctive definitions of holiness, all of which blend the religious and the secular. Close reading of these texts reveals various paths to holiness, which undermine the Church's attempts at sole control over spirituality. This study demonstrates that secular authors were concerned with exploring spiritual matters; that their notions of holiness transform, and often oppose, values sanctified by the Church; and, ultimately, that their constructions of holiness close the gap between religious and secular worlds by permitting lay persons access into religious realms not granted by the Church while, at the same time, not betraying their secular values.
