"The Supplicationes variae is an extraordinary manuscript: an anthology of devotional
texts and images, dated 1293 and made for use in Genoa, ending with a long series
of full-page tinted drawings. This study uses the Supplicationes to explore the intersection
of art and religion--not only the manuscript designer's theological premises but also
the practical use of the book and its broader social and historical significance.
In doing so, it provides a new perspective on Franciscans' impact on the visual arts
in late medieval Italy, in particular Saint Bonaventure, whose concepts of humanity,
prayer, and salvation inform text and image, style and iconography in the Supplicationes.
The manuscript's artists faced the challenge of creating images that convey both complex
ideas and vivid emotions; their use of models from Italy, northern Europe, and Byzantium
creates a unique hybrid of eastern and western Christian cultures. Incorporating nearly
250 colour illustrations, A Soul's Journey illuminates and enlarges the scope of long-standing
questions about the contributions of Byzantine art and Franciscan spirituality to
cultural change preceding the Italian Renaissance."
