Kathryn M. Rudy examines the physical traces left within late medieval prayer books, revealing how these manuscripts functioned as repositories for personal mementos, notes, and ephemera. By analyzing the material evidence of human interaction with these texts, the study illuminates the intimate social lives of medieval readers and the evolving utility of the book as a vessel for memory and devotion.
