Sums up the burgeoning scholarship over the past half century in a number of disciplines. The 18 essays cover facts, testimony, and ritual; Christian eschatology and thanatology; miracles, conversions, and transmutations sub specie aeternitatis; late Medieval poetry and drama on death; and late Medieval iconography on the art of death. Specific topics include the doctor, Aquinas' dilemma about knowledge after death, and women saints as helpers in dying.
