The scholarship of Jocelyn Nigel
Hillgarth touches the whole history of medieval Spain, the history of
Christianity and its institutional practices, and the medieval
intellectual achievement. The essays by students and friends gathered
here honour the remarkable reach of that lifework and the sympathies in
which it remains rooted.
Essays by David Abulafia, Anthony
Bonner, Harvey Hames, and Charles H. Lohr explore the writings of the
Majorcan scholastic, reformer and missionary, Ramon Lull. The broader
history of Spain may be found in Jacques Fontaine's consideration
of the eponymous founder of Spain, Hispalus; in Manuel C. Díaz y
Díaz's discussion of royal liturgy in Visigothic Spain; in Lucy K.
Pick's examination of the tenth-century queen-regent of Léon,
Elvira; and in Mark Meyerson's exploration of the fate of the Jews
of Morvedre (Sagunto) in 1348.
Other papers study the complex
interaction between the institutional structures of the church and the
spirit that animated them: Clarissa Atkinson compares the biographies
of Anselm of Canterbury and Christina of Markyate to uncover differing
sources of authority. Giles Constable argues that the various
historical and legendary lives of Odo Arpinus - nobleman, Cluniac
prior, and crusader in Old French epic - reveal an underlying
coherence. In a study of Dubrovnik's Dalmatian martyrs, Richard
Gyug shows how ecclesiastical politics as well as economic and
religious rivalry work to determine the structures of civic identity.
Phyllis Pobst examines the archbishop Eudes Rigaud's record of his
visitations in the diocese of Rouen, and William Lundell studies the
response of the Carthusian order in the face of schism.
Texts lie at the heart of a concluding
group of four essays: the writings of John Cassian on the relationship
of the eremitic and cenobitic lives in Stephen Driver's work; the
Norman history of Dudo of St-Quentin in Leah Shupkow's essay; the
translation of philosophical texts into architectures of stone at
Chartres in Édouard Jeauneau's article; and the Christian use of
Muslim commentaries on the Latin translations of the Qur'an in
Thomas E. Burman's paper.
