Patroness of Paris: Rituals of Devotion in Early Modern France

'"...this original and important book...is full of scholarly surprises, which change our understanding of how rituals work in one of Europe's greatest cities."' Natalie Zemon Davis, "University of Toronto". '"This is a wonderful book, written with style, elegance, and sensivity. It demonstrates how a skillful historian can illuminate the beliefs and practices of medieval and early modern people as they interacted with a figure who, despite her achievements, was ordinary and familiar to them, not the representation of a distant God."' Larissa Juliet Taylor, "Sixteenth Century Journal", 1999.
