Abstract

This book places the discourse surrounding stigmata within the visual culture of the late medieval and early modern periods, with a particular focus on Italy and on female stigmatics. Echoing, and to a certain extent recreating, the wounds and pain inflicted on Christ during his passion, stigmata stimulated controversy. Related to this were issues that were deeply rooted in contemporary visual culture such as how stigmata were described and performed and whether, or how, it was legitimate to represent stigmata in visual art. Because of the contested nature of stigmata and because stigmata did not always manifest in the same form - sometimes invisible, sometimes visible only periodically, sometimes miraculous, and sometimes self-inflicted - they provoked complex questions and reflections relating to the nature and purpose of visual representation.

Abstract

Francis of Assisi's reported reception of the stigmata on Mount La Verna in 1224 is almost universally considered to be the first documented account of an individual miraculously and physically receiving the five wounds of Christ. The early thirteenth-century appearance of this miracle, however, is not as unexpected as it first seems. Interpretations of Galatians 6:17-I bear the marks of the Lord Jesus Christ in my body-had been circulating since the early Middle Ages in biblical commentaries. These works perceived those with the stigmata as metaphorical representations of martyrs bearing the marks of persecution in order to spread the teaching of Christ in the face of resistance. By the seventh century, the meaning of Galatians 6:17 had been appropriated by bishops and priests as a sign or mark of Christ that they received invisibly at their ordination. Priests and bishops came to be compared to soldiers of Christ, who bore the brand (stigmata) of God on their bodies, just like Roman soldiers who were branded with the name of their emperor. In the eleventh century, monks and nuns were preceived as bearing the stigmata in so far as they lived a life of renunciation out of love for Christ By the early twelfth century, crusaders were said to bear the actual marks of the passion in death and even sometimes as they entered into battle.The Stigmata in Medieval and Early Modern Europe traces the birth and evolution of religious stigmata and particularly of stigmatic theology, as understood through the ensemble of theological discussions and devotional practices. Carolyn Muessig assesses the role stigmatics played in medieval and early modern religious culture, and the way their contemporaries reacted to them. The period studied covers the dominant discourse of stigmatic theology: that is, from Peter Damian's eleventh-century theological writings to 1630 when the papacy officially recognised the authenticity of Catherine of Siena's stigmata. --

Abstract

De heilige Franciscus van Assisi heeft als een van de weinigen begrepen dat de weg van Jezus Christus alleen gevolgd kan worden als wij die weg ook inderdaad gaan, dat zijn waarheid alleen erkend kan worden als wij ook lichamelijk op zijn boodschap ingaan, en dat zijn leven alleen gekend kan worden als wij Hem beleven. Franciscus wilde Jezus niet begrijpen of interpreteren, maar wilde Hem volgen op letterlijke, lichamelijke wijze. Hij verliet de wereld om kerken te herstellen en melaatsen barmhartigheid te bewijzen, hij trok zich terug om in gebed bij God te verwijlen en hij trok de wereld door om de blijde boodschap te verkondigen. Aan het eind van zijn leven werd deze lichamelijke navolging van het leven van Christus als het ware beantwoord door de verschijning van de vijf kruiswonden (stigmata) in het lichaam van de heilige. In deze bundel buigen acht auteurs zich over het fenomeen van de stigmatisatie. Heeft die echt plaatsgevonden of is het alleen maar een verhaal? Is er sprake van een wonder of van een vorm van hysterie? Is het een teken van heiligheid of wijst het op een verlangen naar sensatie? Hoe hebben mensen de stigmata geïnterpreteerd en wat voor betekenis zou het fenomeen voor ons kunnen hebben? Allemaal vragen die cirkelen rond één en dezelfde grondvraag: laten we ons in met wat ons verteld is - waarbij we het risico lopen zelf verwond te raken - of blijven we op een afstandje staan kijken naar dit wonderlijke verschijnsel ?

Abstract

In the nineteenth century a new type of mystic emerged in Catholic Europe. While cases of stigmatisation had been reported since the thirteenth century, this era witnessed the development of the 'stigmatic': young women who attracted widespread interest thanks to the appearance of physical stigmata. To understand the popularity of these stigmatics we need to regard them as the 'saints' and religious 'celebrities' of their time. With their 'miraculous' bodies, they fit contemporary popular ideas (if not necessarily those of the Church) of what sanctity was. As knowledge about them spread via modern media and their fame became marketable, they developed into religious 'celebrities'.
