Description

Corpus Christi: The Eucharist in Late Medieval Culture explores the significance of the eucharist in medieval culture from the 12th century to the 16th century. At its heart was the idea that this sacrament brought Christ's body into presence, offering it to believers.

The book examines how the eucharist was designed and disseminated, interpreted and used within a complex cultural landscape. From its origins in the twelfth century to its transformation in the sixteenth century, the eucharist underwent significant changes, reflecting broader shifts in medieval society.
