Title :
Matre Donante: The Embrace of Christ as the Virgin's Gift in the Visions of 13th-Century Italian Women [The author examines accounts of visionaries who were invited to embrace the Christ child by the Virgin Mary.

Greenspan analyzes in particular the "vita" of Agnes of Montepulciano written by Rayomond of Capua. Title note supplied by Feminae.].
