Cover Story: The purpose of the present paper is to study domestic devotion in Catalonia in the thirteenth, fourteenth, and fifteenth centuries, based on the information provided by eighty-five post-mortem inventories and texts written by coetaneous spiritual authors of the Aragon Corona. Analyzing said inventories allowed us to list two hundred and thirty-five devotional objects, which were part of the possessions of laypeople. Those extensive lists of registered objects constitute the material universe of medieval laypeople and are an eloquent expression of the beliefs, interests, habits, and pastimes that filled their existence. The materiality and tangibility of those objects and their understanding through touch and sight made the experience of the Divine more intimate and personal but also more impacting and effective, in accordance with the spirituality of the Late Middle Ages.
