"Translating Truth is a novel and compelling account of how illuminated vernacular
manuscripts transformed conceptions of Christian excellence in the later Middle Ages.
Following the Fourth Lateran Council (1215), which legislated a broad pastoral outreach
to the laity, new forms of religious instruction played a decisive role in the lives
of Christians throughout Europe. For royal and aristocratic laypeople, luxury manuscripts
of spiritual instruction made sacred truths and religious knowledge accessible-and
authorizing-as never before. In this beautifully illustrated book, Aden Kumler examines
how manuscript paintings collaborated and, at times, competed with texts as they translated
the rudiments of Christian belief as well as complex theological teachings to new
audiences on both sides of the English Channel. In the illuminations in these books,
Kumler argues, elite laypeople were offered an ambitious vision of spiritual excellence
and a greater role in the pursuit of their salvation."--Jacket
