Drawing on a wide array of sources-vitae documenting their saintly lives and legends, miracle books, religious art, and communal records-Doyno uses the rise of and tensions surrounding these civic cults to explore medieval notions of lay religiosity, charismatic power, civic identity, and the church's authority in this period.Although claims about laymen's and laywomen's miraculous abilities challenged the church's expanding political and spiritual dominion, both papal and civic authorities, Doyno finds, vigorously promoted their cults. She shows that this support was neither a simple reflection of the extraordinary lay religious zeal that marked late medieval urban life nor of the Church's recognition of that enthusiasm. Rather, the history of lay saints' cults powerfully illustrates the extent to which lay Christians embraced the vita apostolic-the ideal way of life as modeled by the Apostles-and of the church's efforts to restrain and manage such claims. 410 0$aCornell scholarship online. 606 $aChristian saints$xCult$zItaly$xHistory$yTo 1500 606 $aLaity$xCatholic Church$xHistory$yTo 1500 606 $aSanctification$xCatholic Church 607 $aItaly$xChurch history$y476-1400 610 $acharity, gender, history of Christianity, European history, cults. 615 0$aChristian saints$xCult$xHistory 615 0$aLaity$xCatholic Church$xHistory 615 0$aSanctification$xCatholic Church. 676 $a282/.450902 700 $aDoyno$b Mary Harvey, $4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01538792 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910793731703321 996 $aThe Lay Saint$93789159 997 $aUNINA
