520 |a This article examines a particular devotional image in late medieval piety: the Veronica or "portrait" of Jesus said to have been created when Jesus wiped his face on Veronica's cloth on the way to Calvary. The analysis addresses how lay women in particular may have related to this image, acknowledging that their religious experience was shaped not simply by religious instruction but also by instruction in manners and bodily comportment offered in conduct literature. The larger context for examining this devotion to the Veronica is medieval Passion piety in which strong emotional response was stimulated by text and image, and this emotional experience was often linked with hostility against Jews as perpetrators of the crucifixion. The devotional possibilities offered by Books of Hours, a piety mediated by gazing at pictures, is compared to evidence for extremely emotional Passion devotions. The essay highlights seeing and relationships to objects as problems for the understanding of religion; it also emphasizes the possibilities of diverse appropriations of symbols (such as the Passion) within a religious context.
