Double-weighted statement
This monograph analyses the imagery of holy mothers and their childbearing in medieval Books of Hours and interprets them as sources for the study of women in the middle ages. As a comprehensive survey of this imagery had never before been undertaken, it was necessary to spend considerable time locating and examining primary sources in libraries in France and Britain. Analysis included research into 15th-century material, medical, and religious culture, consulting and transcribing unpublished manuscript texts. An important part of the research involved the transcription and translation of previously unpublished material in Latin.
