Herbert Grundmann (1902–1970)

RELIGIOUS MOVEMENTS IN THE MIDDLE AGES

The Historical Links between Heresy, the
Mendicant Orders, and the Women's Religious
Movement in the Twelfth and Thirteenth Century, with
the Historical Foundations of German Mysticism

Translated by Steven Rowan
Introduction by Robert E. Lerner

Medievalists, historians, and women's studies specialists
will welcome this translation of Herbert Grundmann's classic
study of religious movements in the Middle Ages because it
provides a much-needed history of medieval religious lifeone
that lies between the extremes of doctrinal classification
and materialistic analysis-and because it represents
the first major effort to underline the importance of womern
in the development of the language and practice of religion
in the Middle Ages

"This translation makes available to the English-speaking
world one of the greatest works of German historical
scholarship from the twentieth century and one of the greatest
works of medieval history ever written. Sixty years after its
original publication, Religious Movements in the Middle Ages
remains not only learned and powerful, but innovative
even radical-as well."
