Past, Present and Future

Edited by Yuval Baruch, Ronny Reich, Moran Hagbi, and Joe Uziel

Illuminating the Vitae patrum

The Lives of Desert Saints in Fourteenth-Century Italy

Denva Gallant

“Denva Gallant, in a masterful analysis of this manuscript’s unique imagery, convincingly argues for a renewed rise in the interest in the desert fathers in trecento Italy. Her study reveals ways that religious trends of the period encouraged laypeople to adopt some of the spiritual practices of monks, nuns, and even hermits, including penance, prayer, and imaginative contemplation of religious narratives.”—Holly Flora, Professor of Art History, Tulane University
