Reviews

'This is a very interesting book that will be of use to scholars in various disciplines. It has been handsomely produced with the inclusion of 13 plates of some of the images discussed by the author... Anne Simon's work can be recommended as an excellent means of gaining insights into many aspects of lived religiosity in one of the most prominent cities of late-medieval Germany.' Reviews in History 'Anne Simon's book is a case study in how texts and images depicting a saint can be mapped onto the structure of a city to demonstrate the rich levels of resonance and meaning within devotional practices.' German History
