    Cloth, gilt cover-title, 4to, 29 cm, xxxvi, 186 pp, black-and-white ills, facs. From the introduction by Millard Meiss: "The great transformation of the visual arts in Italy in the late thirteenth century was accompanied by fundamental changes in religious thought, and a major carrier of the new ideas and attitudes was the Meditationes Vitae Christi, recently written in Tuscany. The Meditationes dwelt, as its title implies, on the feelings of the actors - Christ and his "family" - as they move through the sad events, and these, as well as accompanying objects and actions, are described so vividly that they were adopted in contemporary artistic representations. The Meditationes was widely read in Italy in Latin and Italian versions, and then it began to be diffused all over northern Europe. Its influence on the art of the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries has been recognized by all modern scholars. Virtually unknown, on the other hand, has remained a vernacular version of it prepared in metropolitan France, and for no less a person than the Duke of Berry. Its interest is increased by the fact that it is a very free translation, adding and suppressing at will. I came across only brief references to it a decade ago when exploring French religious literature.1 Yet it should be very important to an understanding of French culture of the time if only because, incorporating much of the Meditationes itself, it clearly discloses religious attitudes very similar to the novel earlier Italian ones. The existence of this content in the vernacular made it especially accessible to patrons and artists. " Contents include: Preface by Margaret L. Meiss; Introduction by Millard Meiss; Notes ; Introduction II by Elizabeth H. Beatson; Notes ; The Transcription; Table of Chapters and Concordance; La vie de Nostre Benoit Sauveur Ihesuscrist; La saincte vie de Nostre Dame; Description of Copies ; Bibliography; Glossary; Index. Very Good.
