The Ways of Prayer and Meditations is a compendium of Christian devotional and hagiographical texts assembled in Spain by several scribes over the course of decades in the fifteenth century. Many of the texts concern Saint Dominic, and the manual known as his Nine Ways of Prayer is illustrated by ten miniatures, most showing the saint in the recommended postures for prayer before a crucifix. The book's diminutive size and devotional content suggest its possible early use as a girdle book (a book worn hanging from one's belt).

We have 1 facsimile edition of the manuscript "Ways of Prayer and Meditations": Modi orandi sancti dominici. Die Gebets- und Andachtsgesten des Hl. Dominicus facsimile edition, published by Belser Verlag, 1995

International social justice movements and the debates that ensued prompted us to start considering the contents of our website from a critical point of view. This has led us to acknowledge that most of the texts in our database are Western-centered. We have asked the authors of our content to be aware of the underlying racial and cultural bias in many scholarly sources, and to try to keep in mind multiple points of view while describing the manuscripts. We also recognize that this is yet a small, first step towards fighting inequality.

If you notice any trace of racist or unjust narratives in our communications, please help us be part of the change by letting us know.
