Interaction with the saints was central to the everyday life of
medieval Christians. The process of praying to a heavenly
intercessor not only involved private devotion but was also
intrinsically connected with society at large. It required the
individual to communicate and negotiate both with the saint and
within a group of devotees, thereby exposing social processes such
as community dynamics and the construction of gender. Considering
these issues and others, Gender, Miracles, and Daily Life
focuses on the depositions of the canonization processes of Thomas
Cantilupe (1307) and Nicholas of Tolentino (1325). It explores how
ordinary laypeople understood the daily responsibilities that
determined their relationship to the saints and articulates how
their shared narratives contributed to the rituals which surrounded
a miracle. This material has been little explored by scholars, yet
offers a vivid and colourful insight into the world of men and
women in the fourteenth century.
