Shaping Stability. The Normation and Formation of Religious Life in the Middle Ages

Indicativamente procurabile in 15-20 giorni lavorativi | | Info disponibilità | Rifornimento in corso | | Prezzo di acquisto | € 110,00 | | Descrizione | This volume examines the efforts of medieval religious communities and orders to bring stability to the dynamic complexity of organized religious life. By focusing on legislative structures and normative documents (rules, customaries, constitutions), the authors address not only such matters as the meaning of these texts and the motivations behind them, but also the evolving conditions of their production and use, the internal politics of institutional change, and the reality of ?precept not practice.? These papers thus present spiritual principles and social practices in their historical and functional contexts, confront normative programs with formative processes, and explain distinctive modes and models of life within the broader landscape of medieval organized religion.. | Aggiungi al Carrello |

Building on the collaborative spirit of recent work on medieval religion, it includes studies by historians of the religious orders, liturgy and ritual as well as archaeologists and architectural historians. Several studies combine the interpretation of texts, most particularly customaries and rules, with the analysis of architecture. The volume sheds new and exciting light on monastic daily life in all its dimensions from the liturgical and the quotidian to the spatial and architectural.

The Death Ritual at Cluny in the Central Middle Ages. Le rituel de la mort à Cluny au Moyen Âge central
| Edizione: | Brepols Publishers, 2013 | | Collana: | Disciplina Monastica |
Tempi di rifornimento |
Indicativamente procurabile in 15-20 giorni lavorativi | | Info disponibilità | Rifornimento in corso | | Prezzo di acquisto | € 90,00 | | Descrizione | This volume presents a complete reconstruction of the ritual response to terminal illness and death at the monastic community of Cluny at the height of its development in the later eleventh and early twelfth centuries. Based on the best manuscript of the customary of Bernard, the only account of the abbey's customs written at and for Cluny itself, the reconstruction contains not just Bernard's Latin description of the ritual process, but also the full texts of the prayers and chants that accompanied it, gathered, in the absence of surviving ritual books from Cluny itself, from contemporary sources with clear ties to the Cluniac customs. Facing-page English and French translations make the results available to readers with little or no facility in Latin. The author places the Cluniac death ritual in the context of religious responses to death, dying and the care of the dead in medieval Latin Christianity as a whole. He also explicates the origins, development and meaning of the Cluniac death ritual's myriad elements as they were spoken, sung and performed within the sacred spaces of the monastic complex?cloister, chapter house, infirmary, church and cemetery.

Western Monasticism ante litteram. The Spaces of Monastic Observance in Late Antiquity and the Early Middle Ages

Indicativamente procurabile in 15-20 giorni lavorativi | | Info disponibilità | Rifornimento in corso | | Prezzo di acquisto | € 95,00 | | Descrizione | Space has always played a crucial part in defining the place that monks and nuns occupy in the world. Even during the first centuries of the monastic phenomenon, when the possible varieties of monastic practice were nearly infinite, there was a common thread in the need to differentiate the monk from the rest: whatever else they were supposed to be, monks were beings apart, unique, in some sense separate from the mainstream. The physical contours of monastic topographies, natural and constructed, are thus fundamental to an understanding of how early monks went about defining the parameters of their everyday lives, their modes of religious observance, and their interactions with the larger world around them. The group of eminent historians and archaeologists present at the American Academy in Rome in March, 2007 for the conference ?Western monasticism ante litteram. The spaces of early monastic observance,? whose contributions comprise the bulk of this volume, have sought to reconsider the theory, the practice and above all the spaces of early monasticism in the West, in the hope of creating a more complete picture of that seminal period, from the fourth century until the ninth, when notions of what it meant to be a monk were as numerous as they were varied and (often) conflicting. | Aggiungi al Carrello |

Virtual Pilgrimages in the Convent. Imagining Jerusalem in the Late Middle Ages

Tempi di rifornimento |
Indicativamente procurabile in 15-20 giorni lavorativi | | Info disponibilità | Rifornimento in corso | | Prezzo di acquisto | € 110,00 | | Descrizione | ?Walking in Christ?s footsteps? was a devotional ideal in the late Middle Ages. However, few nuns and religious women had the freedom or the funding to take the journey in the flesh. Instead they invented and adjusted devotional exercises to visit the sites virtually. These exercises, largely based on real pilgrims? accounts, made use of images and objects that helped the beholder to imagine walking alongside Christ during his torturous march to Calvary. Some provided scripts whereby votaries could animate paintings and sculptures. Others required the nun to imagine her convent as a miniature model of Jerusalem. This volume is grounded in more than a dozen texts from manuscripts written by medieval nuns and religious women, which appear here transcribed and translated for the first time, and a multiplicity of (occasionally three-dimensional) images. They attest to the ubiquity and variety of virtual pilgrimages among religious women and help to reveal the functions of certain late medieval devotional images.

This volume examines the late medieval devotional text
Meditationes Vitae Christi through an analysis of its most
important manuscript, known by its present location and catalogue
number as Paris Bibliothèque Nationale Ms. ital. 115.
As Flora argues, Ms. ital. 115, the oldest and most extensively
illustrated copy of the Meditationes, was originally made in or
near Pisa circa 1350 and tailored very specifically for a group of
Franciscan nuns. Flora proposes the manuscripts
probable uses in practices of performative devotion and affective
response, and the relationship between its imagery and other works
of art made for religious women, shedding new light on the history
of female monasticism in medieval Italy.
Holly Flora is Assistant Professor of Art History at Tulane
University, and is the author of Cimabue and Early Italian
Devotional Painting (The Frick Collection, 2006) as well as
studies on illustrated manuscripts and devotional art in late

Dans son histoire du monde, écrite vers 1030, Raoul
Glaber dépeint léglise préromane de
Saint Bénigne de Dijon comme plus admirable que les
basiliques de toute la Gaule (totius Galliae basilicis
mirabiliorem). Commencée autour de 1001 et
consacrée en 1016 (léglise) et 1018 (la
rotonde), cette abbatiale bénédictine, dont seule la
crypte de la rotonde subsiste, relevait des traditions
architecturales romaine, carolingienne et ottonienne. Elle fut
construite à un moment-clé de lhistoire
politique de la France et de la Bourgogne et peut être
interprétée en fonction de lidéologie
de ses bâtisseurs, labbé Guillaume et
lévêque Brun de Langres. Il faut
également la lire comme un cadre exceptionnellement bien
conçu pour la dévotion monastique et la liturgie de
Cluny telle quinterprétée par Guillaume. Cet
ouvrage se veut une interprétation visuelle, politique,
liturgique et théologique de cette église
étonnante de lan mil.

The
multifaceted Robert of Arbrissel (ca. 1045-1116) is best remembered
as the founder of Fontevraud, a monastery of men and women under
the direction of an abbess. A restless nonconformist, Robert was
both famous and infamous in his own lifetime and has been a subject
of debate ever since. In this book an international team of
scholars Jacques Dalarun, Geneviève Giordanengo,
Armelle Le Huërou, Jean Longère, Dominique Poirel, and
Bruce L. Venarde present all known medieval sources
concerning Robert of Arbrissel. The authors have created critical
editions of materials including hagiography, correspondence,
statutes, charters, and various short texts in verse and prose
illustrating Roberts life and memory. To facilitate broad
access to these materials, the entire dossier is translated into
French and English. The authors purpose, then, is not to
offer the last word on Robert of Arbrissel, but to make available
in one volume the materials that will promote further research and
new interpretations of this controversial medieval
Christian.

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.

The abbey of San Sebastiano, which lies not far from the town
of Alatri in Southern Lazio, preserves within its walls almost fifteen
hundred years of history. This history is unusually bound to a number
of important figures, from Saint Benedict to Pope Nicholas V and his
circle of humanists. For the past four years a small team has been
investigating the standing structures of the abbey, analyzing the
stratigraphy of the standing walls and tracing the various phases
through the building. The
study has produced some startling discoveries: the plan and preserved
walls of one of the oldest monasteries in Europe, and one of the
earliest Renaissance villas. The book gives an account of the
architecture and the history of the building, showing how each phase
relates to the last both structurally and thematically.
The project was
initiated at the American Academy in Rome, where Elizabeth Fentress was
Andrew Mellon Professor, and Caroline Goodson, Margaret L. Laird and Stephanie C. Leone were Fellows. Margaret Laird
and Stephanie Leone are now assistant professors at the University of
Washington, Seattle and at Boston College. Other contributors
include Caroline Bruzelius, Professor of the History of Art at Duke

Fontevraud : 1101-2001.
Fontevraud : à la fois monastère et congrégation, communauté mixte
où, par la singulière volonté du fondateur, les hommes en ce temps
féodal étaient soumis au pouvoir des femmes. Célébrer le neuvième
centenaire de la fondation de Robert dArbrissel
simposait ; ce qui fut fait du 13 au 16 décembre 2001, dans
lenceinte même de la somptueuse abbaye
ligérienne.
Le présent volume témoigne de ces
denses journées détude ; il intègre aussi des contributions
supplémentaires, pour gagner encore en richesse et en cohérence.
Volontairement déroutant, il nous entraîne dabord bien loin du
Val de Loire, dans les solitudes boisées des Apennins, où le
ressourcement monastique surgi du haut Moyen Âge inaugure ce Moyen Âge
que nous disons central. Les organisateurs scientifiques de la
rencontre nont en effet pas souhaité la focaliser demblée
sur loriginalité de Fontevraud et les étranges comportements de
son fondateur. Ils ont au contraire voulu donner à lire
laccident de 1101 dans le vaste élan qui ouvre une ère nouvelle
pour la Chrétienté et pour notre monde en ce quil en
procède : cette réforme de lÉglise quon dit
"grégorienne", qui repense en fait toute larchitecture
ecclésiale et sociale, des plus hauts aux plus infimes pouvoirs, des
institutions aux individus et du sacré au profane.
