Summary: | In this welcome, scholarly book, three American academics working in the field of medieval studies assemble a remarkable collection of material that brings fresh light to bear on the origins and early development of the festival of Corpus Christi. It is well known that the feast grew out of the visions of Mother Juliana of Mont Cornillon, the theology of Thomas Aquinas, and the ‘Transiturus’ Bull of Urban IV in 1264. Working on previous research, for example by the late Pierre-Marie Gy, OP, Walters, Corrigan, and Ricketts together offer a wider background than any publication so far. |
