"The German mystic Gertrude the Great of Helfta (ca. 1256-1301) is a globally venerated
saint who is still central to the Sacred Heart Devotion. Her visions were first recorded
in Latin, and they inspired generations of readers in processes of creative rewriting.
The vernacular copies of these redactions challenge the long-standing idea that translations
do not bear the same literary or historical weight as the originals upon which they
are based. In this study, Racha Kirakosian argues that manuscript transmission reveals
how redactors serve as cultural agents. Examining the late medieval vernacular copies
of Gertrude's visions, she demonstrates how redactors recast textual materials, reflected
changes in piety, and generated new forms of devotional practices. She also shows)
how these texts served as a bridge between material culture, in the form of textiles
and book illumination, and mysticism. Kirakosian's multi-faceted study is an important
contribution to current debates on medieval manuscript culture, authorship, and translation
as objects of study in their own right"
