This volume offers a sample of the many ways that medieval Franciscans wrote, represented in art, and preached about the ‘model of models’ of the medieval religious experience, the Virgin Mary. This is an extremely valuable collection of essays that highlight the significant role the Franciscans played in developing Mariology in the Middle Ages. Beginning with Francis, Clare, and Anthony, a number of significant theologians, spiritual writers, preachers, and artists are presented in their attempt to capture the significance and meaning of the Virgin Mary in the context of the late Middle Ages within the Franciscan movement.

"Si può dire che questo volume rappresenta una buona raccolta che segnala la documentazione critica su alcuni autori francescani medioevali che trattano della Vergine maria. Ciò è corredato da una estesa bibliografia (441-53) utile per una visione generale delle diverse produzioni letterarie in ambito francescano e non solo". Stefano Cecchin, in Archivum Franciscanum Historicum, June 2020.
