After the State and the Church, the most well organized membership system of medieval and early modern Europe was the confraternity.
In cities, towns, and villages it would have been difficult for someone not to be a member of a confraternity, the recipient of its charity, or aware of its presence in the community. In A Companion to Medieval and Early Modern Confraternities , Konrad Eisenbichler brings together an international group of scholars to examine confraternities from various perspectives: their origins and development, their devotional practices, their charitable activities, and their contributions to literature, music, and art.
The result is a picture of confraternities as important venues for the acquisition of spiritual riches, material wealth, and social capital. Levin, Murdo J. Copyright Year: E-Book PDF.

Biographical Note Konrad Eisenbichler University of Toronto works on the intersection of literature, politics, and religion in Renaissance Italy, with a special focus in how this intersection operates within early modern confraternities.
A Companion to Medieval and Early Modern Confraternities provides a guide to scholars interested in the study of the religious practices of the laity, the social assistance provided by confraternities, and the arts they sponsored. As a whole, it illustrates the richness and complexity of premodern confraternities and the many opportunities still open for further research.
