The volume exposes attitudes and representations of the lifecycle from the Anglo-Saxon period to the end of the Middle Ages as being full of inconsistencies as well as definitive categories, and of variation and stasis. This attests to the fact that medieval conceptions and representations of the stages of life and their interrelationships are much more nuanced and less idealized than is usually credited. Medieval conceptual, mental, artistic, cultural, and sociological processes are scrutinized using various approaches and methods that cross disciplinary boundaries. What is emphasized across the volume is that there were varying, context-dependent rhythms of continuity and change in every stage of life in the medieval period. The volume?s selection of authors is international in scope and represents some of the leading current scholarship in the field. |  Aggiungi al Carrello |

At the
heart of the various articles in this book are four customaries,
compiled over the course of nearly a hundred years beginning at the
end of the tenth century, that describe daily life and liturgy at
the abbey of Cluny. Two principal objectives motivated the creation
of the present volume of essays : first, to bring out the
unequaled richness of these monastic customaries for scholars,
primarily medievalists in all disciplines; and second, to
facilitate the use of these sources, which can be challenging at
first sight. Drawing upon the multiple disciplines needed to
account for the full range of information presented by the
customaries, the editors have brought together varied and
complementary approaches to these multifaceted documents. Among the
principal themes common to the studies in this volume are the
genesis and transmission of the customaries, the relationship
between texts and practice, and the evidence they offer for the
function of monastic spaces as well as for the ritualization of
communal life.
