Abstract:
The chapters in this volume ask how texts written in scholarly Latin and the vernacular provided instruction on staying attentive during devotions and prayer, and how they explained the necessity of attention and attentiveness, or warned of the dangers of diversion and distraction. It focuses on the practices and semantics of attention in the monastic context as well as on the field of private lay piety
