Marquard was “actively involved” (20) in the care of souls, and his mission and his texts likely influenced each other greatly. A final point of criticism is the book’s lack of visual illustrations, considering the fact that throughout the book Mossman often refers to visualizing practices, iconographical traditions, and representative paintings. Challenged by the ruling devotional practices of his time, and by the corresponding opinions of many of his Franciscan confreres, Marquard provides strikingly different insights that became widely read and highly influential. Whether or not these new finds are really key to explaining Marquard’s success (which suggests that he was responsible for new developments in thought, given the remarkable extent of manuscript transmission), it is to Mossman’s great credit that he gives back a rightful place in intellectual history to a central figure in late medieval religious life. Marquard von Lindau was not a voice in the wilderness, but, rather, a highly original one.

Lough Ce was a vital geographic feature in relation to the MacDermot and O'Conor dynasties of the 13th and 14th century, and was the scene of a number of military incursions on the part of English lordships in the mid-13th century. Yet, this lake, and the history and archaeology of the region surrounding the lake, has rarely been examined as a landscape feature in, and of, itself.
