Ludo
Milis graduated from Ghent University in 1961 as the last student
of François-Louis Ganshof, who in the years after Henri
Pirennes retirement was the most prominent representative of
the famous Ghent School of medieval history.
Miliss own academic career at Ghent span four decades in
which he followed in the footsteps of his masters, yet also
explored new directions. Like his predecessors, Milis always
attached great importance to the critical examination of primary
sources, but for him, such work must serve broader historical
inquiry guided by a precise set of questions and methodological
rigor. His interests lay primarily in the study of religious and
cultural history, which previously had been neglected at Ghent; he
was also a pioneer in the history of mentalities in the Low
Countries. Miliss research and thought found expression in
several books, among which his Angelic Monks and Earthly men.
Monasticism and its Meaning to Medieval Society (Boydell,
1992), translated into many languages, was probably the most
influential.
This
collection contains eleven essays published between 1969 and 1990.
Most of them appeared in Dutch or French and have now been
translated into English; two essays previously published in English
were newly edited. All provide unique insight in the major themes
of Miliss work: the religious history of the Low Countries
during the early and high Middle Ages, as well as the problem of
religious conversion and persuasion; the rise of regular canons in
the eleventh and twelfth centuries (also the subject of his
doctoral dissertation on the order of Arrouaise, published in
1969); the uses of power and ideology; and the history of French
Flanders. All bear witness to Miliss inspiring ability to
ask original, probing questions and to write historical syntheses
accessible to a wide audience.
The
collection is presented to Ludo Milis by his students on the
occasion of his retirement and his sixty-fifth
birthday.
