Summary
How did people in the late Middle Ages view their future? Drawing on early New High German artes moriendi, Patrick Nehr-Baseler demonstrates that treatises on dying not only prepared readers for the afterlife but also opened up new perspectives on self-care - shaped by the contexts in which they were printed.
