{"product_id":"the-wienhausen-grabeschristus-katherine-guinness-9783639219586","title":"The Wienhausen Grabeschristus","description":"The Wienhausen Effigy of Christ (or Grabeschristus) is a 15th century religious artwork from the Wienhausen Cloister in northern Germany. This book explains the effigy's origins, usage, and overall history. Breaking through the relative mystery surrounding this unique artwork demonstrates how its position in the Cloister as a liturgical object, reliquary, pilgrimage site, meditational tool, and subject of intense religious performance and mysticism is both common for the time and highly unusual. It provides a valuable understanding of how 15th century women, particularly nuns, worshiped, thought, and lived. This book tracks the known history of the Effigy as well as the Wienhausen Cloister and includes works from the Wienhausen Kloister archives, primary texts, and personal interviews.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Katherine Guinness\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3639219589\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783639219586\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e VDM Verlag\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/27\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 64\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.23lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.15d","brand":"Katherine Guinness","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48440362729727,"sku":"9783639219586","price":52.92,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_8a8d2004-6816-4397-9a39-bc485d03b691.jpg?v=1777181950","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-wienhausen-grabeschristus-katherine-guinness-9783639219586","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
