"This investigation of Engelhard of Langheim's writings lies at the intersection of intellectual and social history, and it combines historical methods with the theoretical interventions encouraged by the field of religious studies. Since Engelhard's compositions have not been fully edited, the medievalist's tasks of manuscript transcription, translation, and analysis form the foundation for this study. This close reading of Engelhard's texts identifies the liturgical and biblical resonances in his language, examines the gendered aspects of his expressions, and compares his stories to those of his Cistercian contemporaries. Furthermore, Newman locates Engelhard's sacramental spirituality within his monastic environment, unearthing his networks of friends and patrons, and exploring his reactions to the social and intellectual changes of his period. Through this process of comparison and contextualization, her work considers the place of the sacraments within Cistercian life as well as investigating monastic conceptions of sight and vision, the role of Mary in Cistercian devotion, and aspects of everyday life that are seldom accessible. Finally, Newman employs theories of reader reception and cognitive blending to analyze how the nuns of Wechterswinkel may have received Engelhard's text, and she draws on insights from anthropology and cognitive science that illuminate how people learn to believe. This study engages with conversations within the field of religious studies that trace the genealogy of religion, and it suggests the importance of understanding conceptions of faith in the period before the Reformation. By uncovering a religiosity of late twelfth-century nuns and monks that is seldom visible, this book explores the processes of imagination and practice that make conceptions of the unseen and the transcendent seem real"--

Each of the studies in this volume draws upon a manuscript, or a group of manuscripts, that shed light on the practice of monastic life during this period of reform. Many, but not all, of the papers focus on the monastery of Admont in central Austria. Admont was one of the most important spiritual, cultural, and intellectual centres in the high Middle Ages, and its magnificent library still houses an extensive collection of manuscripts - a rich resource both for the history of the monastery and for the broader history of medieval religious life. The book brings together the work of an international group of scholars whose work touches on various aspects of twelfth-century Admont, and the broader movement for reform and renewal in Germany and Austria.With the publication of Charles Homer Haskin’s important work, The Renaissance of the Twelfth Century (1933), came a new way of looking at the civilization of the high Middle Ages. Scholars have since investigated many aspects of this revival: the rise of the universities, the development of canon law, the emergence (or re-emergence) of a heightened sense of human individuality, and the revival of religious fervour that has been labelled a reformation before the Reformation. Much of this scholarly work has focused on northern-central Italy, France, and England. Germany, however, has been little studied in this context, in part because the nature and trajectory of the reform there differed from that seen elsewhere in Europe. The essays in the book both explore connections between Germanic lands and the wider western European context, and consider the unique spiritual and intellectual climate of Germany’s monasteries.
