The Cambridge History of Medieval Monasticism in the Latin West
Monasticism, in all of its variations, was a feature of almost every landscape in the medieval West. So ubiquitous were religious women and men throughout the Middle Ages that all medievalists encounter monasticism in their intellectual worlds. While there is enormous interest in medieval monasticism among Anglophone scholars, language is often a barrier to accessing some of the most important and groundbreaking research emerging from Europe. The Cambridge History of Medieval Monasticism in the Latin West offers a comprehensive treatment of medieval monasticism, from Late Antiquity to the end of the Middle Ages. The essays, specially commissioned for this volume and written by an international team of scholars, with contributors from Australia, Belgium, Canada, England, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain, Switzerland, and the United States, cover a range of topics and themes and represent the most up-to-date discoveries on this topic.
Lesser Feasts and Fasts 2018
Lesser Feasts and Fasts has not been updated since 2006. This new edition, adopted at the 79th General Convention (resolution A065), fills that need. Biographies and collects associated with those included within the volume have been updated; a deliberate effort has been made to more closely balance the men and women represented within its pages.
Laster im Mittelalter / Vices in the Middle Ages
Das Thema Laster im Mittelalter zeichnet sich durch seine Kontinuität über das gesamte Mittelalter aus und hat seine Wurzeln in der Spätantike und seine Nachwirkungen in der Neuzeit. Es berührt fast alle Bereiche mittelalterlicher Kultur und hat eine unerschöpfliche Literatur hervorgebracht. Der Sammelband beruht auf den Ergebnissen des Freiburger Kolloquiums 2006, das sich erstmals mit der langen Tradition der sieben Todsünden und den mittelalterlichen Lasterkatalogen befasste, und vereint die Beiträge namhafter Wissenschaftlerinnen und Wissenschaftler unterschiedlicher Fachrichtungen. Laster wurden im Mittelalter systematisch geordnet: Sie wurden in Hauptlaster eingeteilt, aus denen andere Laster hervorgingen, als Sünden verstanden und dienten darüber hinaus ganz allgemein der Beschreibung menschlicher Leidenschaften und Handlungen. Aus historischer, literaturwissenschaftlicher, theologischer, philosophischer, kunst- und rechtshistorischer Perspektive entwerfen die neun Beiträge in deutscher, englischer und französischer Sprache ein lebendiges Bild der Wünsche und Ängste des mittelalterlichen Menschen, aber auch des gesellschaftlichen Lebens im Mittelalter.
The Devotion and Promotion of Stigmatics in Europe, C. 1800-1950
"In the nineteenth century a new type of mystic emerged in Catholic Europe. While cases of stigmatisation had been reported since the thirteenth century, this era witnessed the development of the 'stigmatic': young women who attracted widespread interest thanks to the appearance of physical stigmata. To understand the popularity of these stigmatics we need to regard them as the 'saints' and religious 'celebrities' of their time. With their 'miraculous' bodies, they fit contemporary popular ideas (if not necessarily those of the Church) of what sanctity was. As knowledge about them spread via modern media and their fame became marketable, they developed into religious 'celebrities'"--
Peter of Auvergne
peter of Auvergne (+1304) is one of the most productive and most influential commentators of the Faculty of Arts at the University of Paris, At the end of the 13th century Peter actually moved to the upper theological faculty, where he argued a number of quodlibeta. This volume of conference proceedings represents the first examination of the work of Peter of Auvergne as a whole. In addition, biographical information has been interpreted in new ways. Many of the contributions present research on aspects of his commentaries on the logical, natural philosophical, metaphysical, ethical, and political works of Aristotle, as well as aspects of his theological works. A comparison with contemporaneous authors demonstrates that Peter presents a thoroughly distinctive line of thought and that previous classifications must be differentiated or even discarded. In addition, Peter develops an astounding history of reception with some of his works that continued into early modernity.
