Abstract

Mary of Oignies (1177-1213) was one of the first of the holy women who transformed religious life in the late twelfth and early thirteenth centuries. Living as a beguine and a free anchoress, she offered spiritual and temporal guidance to people from a diverse range of social stations and professions, including high clerics and common lay-people. Indeed, contemporary and later accounts reveal that Mary of Oignies greatly influenced the medieval Christian world.

Abstract

In de jonge steden van Noordwest-Europa verscheen een nieuw type vrouw: de stadskluizenares. Deze vrouwen trokken zich terug in kluizen aan de zijkant van een stadskerk, maar hielden contact met de stadsbevolking binnen in de kerk of via raampjes aan de straatkant. In een wereld waarin vrouwen geen leidende rol mochten spelen in zaken van het geloof, ontpopten deze stadskluizenaressen zich als de (informele) vrouwelijke pendant van de pastoor.

Abstract

The transmission of knowledge in clerical and academic settings of the later Middle Ages has been relatively well studied by traditional scholarship. But successes achieved in other subject-areas by the application of a set of methodologies grouped under the rubric of ‘gender studies’ may offer insights into medieval education. This approach invites a re-examination in gender-political terms of the definition of knowledge by clerical elites and the concomitant rejection from the category of ‘knowledge’ of many varieties of knowledge which did not coincide with their template. The ten articles of this volume focus both on the perennial valorization of the content and methods of clerical/academic education, on the limitation of venues for its transmission to sites from which women were categorically excluded, and, in terms of media for the transmission of knowledge, on the attendant restriction of the techniques and media considered valid for the storage, retrieval, and communication of knowledge to those that were current in these privileged sites.The volume addresses the following issues: what varieties of knowledge were available to communities of women? What kinds of knowledge originated in or became characteristic of women’s communities? What techniques did women develop to preserve and transmit their knowledge? In what ways and with what success was women’s knowledge valorized, both by authors from within these communities and by ‘authoritative’ figures from outside? Under what circumstances could women become authoritative originators of and transmitters of knowledge?

Abstract

This volume discusses, from an historical and literary angle, the ways in which sanctification and the inscription of saintliness take place. Going beyond the traditional categories of canonization, cult, liturgical veneration and hagiographical lives, the work raises fundamental issues concerning definitions of saints and saintliness in a period before the concept was crystallized in canon law. As well as discussing sources and methodology, contributions cover contextual issues, including relics and veneration, life and the afterlife, and examinations of specific sources and texts.

Abstract

In cities and towns across northern Europe in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries, a new type of religious woman took up authoritative positions in society, all the while living as public recluses in cells attached to the sides of churches. In Lives of the Anchoresses, Anneke Mulder-Bakker offers a new history of these women who chose to forsake the world but did not avoid it.Unlike nuns, anchoresses maintained their ties to society and belonged to no formal religious order. From their solitary anchorholds in very public places, they acted as teachers and counselors and, in some cases, theological innovators for parishioners who would speak to them from the street, through small openings in the walls of their cells. Available at all hours, the anchoresses were ready to care for the community's faithful whenever needed.Through careful biographical studies of five emblematic anchoresses, Mulder-Bakker reveals the details of these influential religious women. The life of the unnamed anchoress who was mother to Guibert of Nogent shows the anchoress's role as a spiritual guide in an oral culture. A study of Yvette of Huy shows the myriad possibilities open to one woman who eventually chose the life of an anchoress. The accounts of Juliana of Cornillon and Eve of St. Martin raise questions about the participation of religious women in theological discussions and their contributions to church liturgy. And the biographical study of Margaret the Lame of Magdeburg explores the anchoress's role as day-to-day religious instructor to the ordinary faithful.

Abstract

From its earliest beginnings in the homes of its members, the church has been the ‘house’ of God, and the episcopal and monastic institutions in which many of God’s professed servants and officials dwell have been seen as religious ‘houses’. The church’s history is accordingly the history of an institution largely conceived of as a household. In recent years, secular life and lifestyles in late antiquity and the Middle Ages have been illuminated through renewed attention to the economic and social history of households, while scholarship on women has produced studies of the lives and the devotional reading of laywomen and women religious. This volume is a pioneering collection that unites study of the household with women’s religious practices as a focus of enquiry. It moves beyond consideration of the church’s roles in women’s history to the impact of women’s householding on the history of the church.
