Description

A 200-page introduction to pilgrimage in the Middle Ages and its study, is followed by a thoroughly annotated bibliography of over 1000 primary and secondary, scholarly and popular, works on such aspects of the subject as the medieval concept of pilgrimage, specific sites, and its manifestation in literature, music, art, architecture, and political and religious history. Each topical section notes important primary sources and key scholarly works that provide an opening for research. Focuses on the period from the 4th century to the Renaissance, but also notes works describing pre-Christian and 20th-century pilgrimages. Includes an outline for beginning scholars. No index.
