The author explores the mnemonic role of images in vernacular preaching and mystical texts, challenging traditional art-historical approaches that focus on style and iconography. She offers new ways of reconstructing their meaning and demonstrates how these images were viewed at the time of their creation. By applying her knowledge of rhetoric and the art of memory to the visual arts, she opens up new perspectives for the study of religious art and literature of the Renaissance, revealing how these images functioned within the everyday context of the liturgy and the lives of the common people.

The author's investigation of the mnemonic role of images in vernacular preaching and mystical texts goes beyond the traditional art-historical approach to late Mediaeval and Renaissance art, which tends to focus on style and iconography. By examining how these images were viewed at the time of their creation, the author offers new ways of reconstructing their meaning. By applying her knowledge of rhetoric and the art of memory to the visual arts, she opens up new perspectives for the study of religious art and literature of the Renaissance, demonstrating how these images functioned within the everyday context of the liturgy and the lives of the common people. This title was first published in 2003.
