Remembering Kings Past

At the center of the legends stand three kings whom the monks favored as founders: Clovis, Pippin the Short, and, above all, Charlemagne. Remensnyder reveals the many implications of this legendary affection for kings, a startling predilection on the part of monks living in a region where actual rulers hardly ventured during the period.

Die Christus- und Engelweihe im Mittelalter

Die lange Zeit in der Kirchen- und Theologiegeschichte als ein zentrales kultisches Ereignis vernachlässigte Kirchweihe ist erst in den letzten Jahren verstärkt in den Blick der symbol- und mediengeschichtlichen Forschung geraten. Der noch weitgehend unbekannte, jedoch besonders umfangreiche Komplex der legendären Kirchweihtexte sowie der Bilder, die eine Konsekration von Kirchen durch Christus und seine Engel thematisieren, bedurfte einer eigenen Untersuchung, die mit diesem Band von Matthias M. Tischler vorgelegt wird. Er analysiert erstmals alle heute bekannten Christus- und Engelweihetexte im europäischen Kontext und macht die zumeist veralteten, zudem oft entlegen publizierten Quellen in einer editorisch verbesserten Form leicht zugänglich. Ausgehend von den Christus- und Engelkonzepten der Bibel sowie den christlichen Text- und Bildtraditionen, unternimmt er es, die vielschichtigen Entstehungsvoraussetzungen der Christus- und Engelweihetexte zu erklären und ihre geschichtliche, ekklesiologische und theologische Dimension durch den Vergleich mit ähnlichen Texten aus ganz Europa auszuloten.

La Conquistadora

While most books about Mary emphasize her role as the compassionate mother of God, this book uncovers her significant role as an active and often belligerent patron of warfare, as seen from the mosques and castles of medieval Iberia to the cities and shrines of colonial Mexico and finally to present-day New Mexico. Amy Remensnyder explores Mary's prominence on and off the battlefield in the culturally and ethnically diverse world of medieval Iberia, where Muslims, Christians, and Jews lived side by side, and in colonial Mexico, where Spaniards and indigenous peoples mingled. As this array of peoples turned to her to articulate their identities, Mary was drawn into both hostile and peaceful c...

Why devote a Companion to the "mirrors for princes", whose very existence is debated? These texts offer key insights into political thoughts of the past. Their ambiguous, problematic status further enhances their interest. And although recent research has fundamentally challenged established views of these texts, until now there has been no critical introduction to the genre. This volume therefore fills this important gap, while promoting a global historical perspective of different “mirrors for princes” traditions from antiquity to humanism, via Byzantium, Persia, Islam, and the medieval West. This Companion also proposes new avenues of reflection on the anchoring of these texts in their historical realities. Contributors are Makram Abbès, Denise Aigle, Olivier Biaggini, Hugo Bizzarri, Charles F. Briggs, Sylvène Edouard, Jean-Philippe Genet, John R. Lenz, Louise Marlow, Cary J. Nederman, Corinne Peneau, Stéphane Péquignot, Noëlle-Laetitia Perret, Günter Prinzing, Volker Reinhardt, Hans-Joachim Schmidt, Tom Stevenson, Karl Ubl, and Steven J. Williams.
