• Resumen

  • The writer analyzes the various ways that Mary is portrayed as a model of charity in the late medieval devotional text Meditationes Vitae Christi and the way that text and image teach the reader lessons on enacting charity within the monastic discipline of a Clarissan convent. The analysis relies heavily on textual and visual evidence and its potential reception and meaning in the context of a Poor Clare community.
