Black Saints in Early Modern Global Catholicism
This is the untold story of how black saints - and the slaves who venerated them - transformed the early modern church. It speaks to race, the Atlantic slave trade, and global Christianity, and provides new ways of thinking about blackness, holiness, and cultural authority.
ARGIMUSCO DECODED
Gli autori ci conducono in un viaggio nel tempo per svelare uno dei segreti storici e archeologici, forse tra i meglio preservati sino ad oggi. In Italia, a Montalbano Elicona, piccolo paese della Sicilia, esiste un sito di enormi statue di pietra che, unico caso al mondo, riproduce specularmente le costellazioni poste sull'orizzonte al tramonto estivo. Tutto questo per le cure mediche e la salute di una famiglia reale del 1300, quella degli Aragona di Sicilia. Il viaggio ci porta a scoprire la raffinata cultura medica araba medievale, un grandissimo medico-teologo e astrologo catalano, Arnau de Vilanova, e la straordinaria figura di una sconosciuta regina di origine francese sposata a Federico III, Re di Sicilia, Eleonora d'Angiò. Con il supporto di una vasta documentazione storica e di anni di ricerche sul campo, gli autori rivelano simbologie astrologiche, alchemiche, templari e catare medievali presenti tanto sul sito oggetto di indagine quanto nelle immediate vicinanze.
Saints and Their Cults in the Atlantic World
Saints and Their Cults in the Atlantic World traces the changing significance of a dozen saints and holy sites from the fourth century to the twentieth and from Africa, Sicily, Wales, and Iceland to Canada, Boston, Mexico, Brazil, and the Caribbean. Scholars representing the fields of history, art history, religious studies, and communications contribute their perspectives in this interdisciplinary collection, also notable as the first English language study of many of the saints treated in the volume. Several chapters chart the changing images and meanings of holy people as their veneration traveled from the Old World to the New; others describe sites and devotions that developed in the Americas. The ways that a group feels connected to the holy figure by ethnicity or regionalism proves to be a critical factor in a saint's reception, and many contributors discuss the tensions that develop between ecclesiastical authorities and communities of devotees.
Landesherrschaft und Kirchenreform im 15. Jahrhundert
Die »Acta Cusana« gehören zu den profiliertesten Editionswerken zur spätmittelalterlichen Geschichte. Der kürzlich abgeschlossene zweite Band dokumentiert die Lebensgeschichte des großen Philosophen und Kirchenpolitikers Nikolaus von Kues in den Jahren 1452 bis 1458, in denen er als residierender Bischof der Diözese Brixen wirkte. Die in diesem Band versammelten 16 Beiträge bieten ausgehend von dem in Band II vorliegenden breiten Quellenmaterial modellhafte Einzelstudien zu verschiedenen Aspekten der Brixner wie der spätmittelalterlichen Lebenswelt überhaupt, ihrer Überlieferung und kommunikativen Praxis. In ihnen werden exemplarisch Möglichkeiten und Grenzen spätmittelalterlicher Reforminitiativen ebenso aufgewiesen wie Herausforderungen und Techniken der Herrschaftsorganisation geistlicher Territorien sowie die politische Kultur und die Bildungsstandards der Zeit. Mit diesem Band werden die »Beihefte zu den Acta Cusana« eröffnet, die monographischen Studien und Sammelbänden zu den vielfältigen durch die Acta Cusana erschlossenen Kontexten Platz bieten werden.
