Volume 192 of the CC CM series is devoted to Geert Grote or Gerardus Magnus, the founder of the Deuotio Moderna, a religious reform movement which was widely influential in the Low Countries and beyond towards the end of the Middle Ages and fairly long after that. The volume, Vol. 1 of the subseries Gerardi Magni Opera omnia, opens with a general introduction to the life and works of Grote. This section is followed by a survey and analysis of all extant manuscripts containing works of Grote and by a critical evaluation arranged in the order of Grote?s works, in addition providing information on manuscripts transmitting the individual works and earlier editions. After this Part 1, which is more general in nature, follows Part 2, the critical edition of Grote's little treatise Contra turrim Traiectensem, a venomous invective in which Grote tries to prevent further building activities having as their aim to enlarge the Dom tower in Utrecht, the tower of the cathedral church of the Dutch diocese. Languages: Latin, German.

Summary Recent scholarship on the Middle Ages has highlighted the importance of individualistic tendencies in devotion in both the lay world and religious communities. This interaction between individualization and religious agency has been scrutinized in numerous studies, focusing on the beginnings during the so-called 'Twelfth-Century Renaissance', and further development in the later medieval and early modern periods. However, there has hitherto been relatively little scholarship on the phenomenon in the Devotio Moderna: the flourishing of more personalized forms of devotion in north-western Europe during the later Middle Ages. The essays in this volume redress this gap by exploring the processes of inwardness and the emergent individualization of religious practices in the late medieval Low Countries. The essays explore issues including the early impact of the printing press on devotion; meditational aids such as identification with Christ, prayer cycles, practices of remembrance, and devout songs; and the tension between inner devotion and the ideal of communal piety in male and female religious communities. They also discuss some leading individuals of the Devotio movement.
