This lecture will explore the dynamic interaction of popular tradition with religious doctrine in Trecento Tuscany, as expressed in art, with particular attention to the influence of the mendicant orders, widely-circulated hagiographies such as Jacopus de Voragine’s Golden Legend, as well as evidence from the customs and devotional objects of real-life men and women.
