"Superbly produced in 1293, the Supplicationes variae is an intricately orchestrated compendium of spiritual texts and images. Exceptional in its Genoese origin, uniquely sophisticated in its balance of north European, north Italian, and Byzantine imagery, and deeply serious in its Franciscan content, it is a work of devotional, intellectual, and visual intensity. Amy Neff has synthesized years of study on it in a book of exceptional depth and beauty, fully equal to its challenging subject. Known for her work on art and spirituality, deeply knowledgeable about Franciscan thought, and unparalleled in her grasp of the relation of Byzantine and western medieval art, she has produced a major work of scholarly and spiritual insight. Exposing through words the depth of the images, she demonstrates at the same time that 'in this Franciscan book the highest level of prayer consists in contemplating pictures.' The volume is beautifully produced, with 94 excellent colour reproductions of the manuscript's illuminated pages and 150 comparanda." -- Annemarie Weyl Carr, Southern Methodist University "Amy Neff shows how the diverse contents of the Supplicationes variae, a medieval anthology of texts and images, work together (although often in different ways) to present a record of the devotional, theological, and spiritual concerns of one late thirteenth-century Italian. Neff's long-awaited book is an exemplary study of a remarkable manuscript, and a path by which to comprehend it, but it is also far more. Entering through the gateway of the Supplicationes variae the reader is introduced to many key issues in the contextualised understanding of art of the period, especially -- but by no means exclusively -- Italian and Franciscan-related works. The multiple meanings in an image are expounded, supported by deep knowledge of relevant texts and by visual analysis of great sensitivity; it is rare to find both skills in a single writer, and makes this beautiful volume a major contribution to research in the field." -- Joanna Cannon, Courtauld Institute of Art

Affective meditation on the Passion was one of the most popular literary genres of the high and later Middle Ages. Proliferating in a rich variety of forms, these lyrical, impassioned, script-like texts in Latin and the vernacular had a deceptively simple goal: to teach their readers how to feel. They were thus instrumental in shaping and sustaining the wide-scale shift in medieval Christian sensibility from fear of God to compassion for the suffering Christ. Affective Meditation and the Invention of Medieval Compassion advances a new narrative for this broad cultural change and the meditative writings that both generated and reflected it. Sarah McNamer locates women as agents in the creation of the earliest and most influential texts in the genre, from John of Fécamp's Libellus to the Meditationes Vitae Christi, thus challenging current paradigms that cast the compassionate affective mode as Anselmian or Franciscan in origin. The early development of the genre in women's practices had a powerful and lasting legacy. With special attention to Middle English texts, including Nicholas Love's Mirror and a wide range of Passion lyrics and laments, Affective Meditation and the Invention of Medieval Compassion illuminates how these scripts for the performance of prayer served to construct compassion itself as an intimate and feminine emotion. To feel compassion for Christ, in the private drama of the heart that these texts stage, was to feel like a woman. This was an assumption about emotion that proved historically consequential, McNamer demonstrates, as she traces some of its legal, ethical, and social functions in late medieval England.
