Reviews

“Denva Gallant, in a masterful analysis of this manuscript's unique imagery, convincingly argues for a renewed rise in the interest in the desert fathers in Trecento, Italy. Her study reveals ways that religious trends of the period encouraged laypeople to adopt some of the spiritual practices of monks, nuns, and even hermits, including penance, prayer, and imaginative contemplation of religious narratives.” —Holly Flora,Professor of Art History, Tulane University
