This volume deals with the transformative force of Observant reforms during the long fifteenth century, and with the massive literary output by Observant religious, a token of a profound pastoral professionalization that provided religious and lay people alike with encompassing models of religious perfection, as well as with new tools to shape their religious identity. The essays in this work contend that these models and tools had an ongoing effect far into the sixteenth century (on all sides of the emerging confessional divide). At the same time, the controversies surrounding Observant reforms resulted in new sensibilities with regard to religious practices and religious nomenclature, which would fuel many of the early sixteenth-century controversies.

"[This book] makes a very useful contribution to scholarship of the Church at a crucial time of reform, initially Observant and later Protestant. It marshals textual, historical, and art historical evidence to this end... The book highlights the potential of this area for further study, especially using art historical and architectural evidence to investigate the Observance."
- Yvonne McDermott, in: Renaissance Quarterly 70.2 (2017).
"[The volume] thus succeeds in one of its primary goals, highlighting the greater need (and possibility) for a deeper understanding of this period of religious identity formation, both for its own sake and with regard to discussion of later issues of religious reform and challenge."
- Stefan Visnjevac, in: Journal of Ecclesiastical History 68.4 (2017).
"This volume, the thirteenth in the Brill Medieval Franciscans Series, represents one of the outcomes of a large interdisciplinary research project entitled Religious Orders and Religious Identity Formation c. 1420–c.1620 based at Radboud University, Nijmegen. It showcases the work of established and emerging scholars, presents much new material, and opens up several exciting lines of further research. [...] This is a very fascinating volume."
