Reviews

<p> Mary's Mother is a masterful study of a neglected dimension of late medieval devotion. <p>--W. L. Pitts, Jr., Choice


This book is clearly written, enjoyable to read, and is very informative. Nixon delved into primary sources, some previously unpublished, in order to shed light upon the importance of the cult of St. Anne to late medieval Christians, especially in the Germanic areas of Europe, and the function of images in that practice. This study is definitely recommended to anyone interested in the ways in which St. Anne was used and understood in Germany and surrounding areas in the late Middle Ages. Christine Kralik, RACAR
