description: Stanko (Croatian Historical Institute) identifies a resurgence of academic interest in medieval miracle accounts as rich sources of theological, historical, and anthropological insight. Here he analyzes the miracle collections promoting the canonization of a 15th- century Observant Franciscan preacher thoroughly studying widely scattered manuscripts (Naples, Rome, Venice, Paris) to reconstruct the accounts and provide insight into everyday life, hardships, illnesses, hopes, dreams, and anxieties during the late medieval and early modern period.
