The Cult of the Virgin Mary in Early Modern Germany

Protestant and Catholic Piety, 1500 1648

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

An interdisciplinary study of Mary as a religious symbol in post-Reformation Germany. The author uses a rich array of illustrative material to demonstrate that Mary did not disappear from Protestant devotional life, and that in Catholic areas devotion to the Virgin did not always displace more traditional forms of Marian piety.
