Panel Beyond Devotion II is dedicated to secular and religious writings (verse, prose, polemics, textual histories etc.) of secular authors as well as those originating from religious orders and clergy. Main interest lies in showing the origins of vernacular translations of the Holy Scripture along with the controversies that surrounded them, and also in written testimonies of religious devotion and conversion. The aim is not only to confront different kinds of texts and experiences, but to situate this heritage in a social and confessional context. All papers and discussion will be held in English.
