As New. octavo. hardback with dust jacket viii 210pp. notes bibliog. index Ôa portrait of the world of late-15th- and early-16th-century monks friars and nuns. Their monastic vows - obedience poverty chastity and stability - still made a difference to them and to the lay people around them even when they failed to live up to them. Much of KaartinenÕs story is told through the words of the religious themselves from self-defence to self-criticism. This book helps us to understand why some forms of Catholic sensibility lasted so long and why Protestant reformers drew from the very ideals they wanted to undermineÕ Palgrave hardcover
