Combining a rich collection of textual, visual, and material sources, the study focuses on the two Tuscan towns of Lucca and Pistoia. Alexandra R.A. Lee demonstrates how the Bianchi processions in central Italy were moulded by secular and ecclesiastical authorities and shaped by local traditions as they attempted to prevent an epidemic"--Provided by publisher.Medieval Mediterranean ;Volume 129.Bianchi (Italian religious movement)Italy, CentralItalyChurch historyBianchi (Italian religious movement)265.9Lee Alexandra R.
