Abstract

To provide an outline of the theoretical foundations uniting the articles
in this volume, as well as to streamline a shared vocabulary, this chapter
will give a brief (and certainly not exhaustive) overview of recent ideas on
Transnational History and Network Theory, together with their theoretical
backgrounds. It is our intention to show how these models can be used to
approach the flow of religious texts among individuals, groups, networks,
and spaces, as well as through connecting links, during the late Middle
Ages and the early modern period. This overview will also ask how we
may arrive at a better understanding of connectivity and the functioning
of networks, especially in the case of the Europe-wide and in some cases
transatlantic dissemination of religious texts and the creation of widely
shared values concerning lay communities of interpretation.
