DESCRIPTION:One focus of Stephen Mossman's research for more than a decad
 e has been the commandery of the Knights Hospitaller in medieval Strasbo
 urg\, founded by the financier and mystical writer Rulman Merswin in the
  1360s to enable a form of pious retreat for the devout laity of the lat
 e medieval city. \n\nThe great library that it accumulated came to form 
 the core of the Strasbourg city library that burned so tragically during
  the Franco-Prussian War in 1870. Its enormous archive\, meanwhile\, rem
 ained intact\, and allows the Hospitallers to be put on the map of the i
 ntellectual and religious history of late medieval Europe – a history in
  which they have been thought hitherto to be essentially uninvolved – fo
 r the first time. \n\nThese archival resources\, and Rulman Merswin’s li
 terary oeuvre\, allow further remarkable insights into the spirituality 
 of the late medieval laity\, in search of a reconciliation between their
  lives in the world and the demands of their profoundly-felt Christian f
 aith.\n\nProf. Dr. Dr. h. c. mult. Hans-Jochen Schiewer is Professor Eme
 ritus of Medieval German Studies at the Albert-Ludwigs-Universität Freib
 urg\, where he was Rektor (Vice-Chancellor) in 2008-20.
