• Most historians will agree that reform, and the role of the laity in relation to it, is an important subject, but that it is also extremely challenging. Lay Nurembergers, she finds, owned many of the same books as local convents, donated them regularly, and were keen to encourage reform even in the face of monastic resistance. Other fascinating studies in this volume are Stephen Mossman on the writings of Russbroec, Tauler, and Merswin; Mathilde van Dijk comparing discussions of marriage by Dirc of Herxen, a Brother of the Common Life, and Dionysius the Carthusian; and Antonín Kalous on the reform of religious life in Bohemia and Moravia.
