This volume is the first to map out the wide range of vision types in late medieval English lay piety. Analyzing 1000 visionary accounts gathered from sermon and exempla collections, religious devotional works, saints? legends, and lay stories, it explores five central dynamics of spirituality that visions shaped and sustained: Transactions of Satisfaction (visits to and from purgatory and hell), Reciprocated Devotion (visitations of the saints), Spiritual Warfare (attacks by demons), Supra-Sacramental Sight (Mass and Passion sightings), and Mediated Revelation (prophetic visions). 410 0$aStudies in the history of Christian traditions ;$vv. 130. 606 $aVisions$xHistory$yTo 1500 606 $aSpirituality$xHistory of doctrines$yMiddle Ages, 600-1500 606 $aSpiritual warfare$xHistory$yTo 1500 606 $aChurch history$yMiddle Ages, 600-1500 607 $aEngland$xChurch history$y1066-1485 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aVisions$xHistory 615 0$aSpirituality$xHistory of doctrines 615 0$aSpiritual warfare$xHistory 615 0$aChurch history 676 $a248.2/9 700 $aAdams$b Gwenfair Walters$0883381 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910453171003321 996 $aVisions in late medieval England$91973168 997 $aUNINA
