The miraculous wielded a considerable influence on medieval man. Events which were called miracula permeated life at every level but were so closely woven into the texture of Christian experience that there is little direct documentation of what people actually thought about them there being no incentive to explain or examine the presuppositions that lay behind them. This new edition of an extensive study focuses on the period from 1100 to 1215 but thought about miracles as gleaned from the writings of philosophers theologians Bible commentators and preachers remained basically the same throughout the Middle Ages.
