Ebook: Maria in den Konfessionen und Medien der Frühen Neuzeit

In the early modern era, the veneration of Mary was not limited to Roman Catholicism. The essays in this volume examine images of the mother of God in Judaism and Islam, and critiques of Marian devotion in Catholic reform movements, along with a close description of the role assigned to Mary by Protestant denominations. The importance of medial transmission of each view of Mary in the arts is a central focus.
