In his fascinating new book, based on the Conway Lectures he delivered at Notre Dame in 2016, William Courtenay examines aspects of the religious life of one medieval institution, the University of Paris, in the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries. In place of the traditional account of teaching programs and curriculum, however, the focus here is on religious observances and the important role that prayers for the dead played in the daily life of masters and students. Courtenay examines the university as a consortium of sub-units in which the academic and religious life of its members took place, and in which prayers for the dead were a major element. Throughout the book, Courtenay highlights reverence for the dead, which preserved their memory and was believed to reduce the time in purgatory for deceased colleagues and for founders of and donors to colleges. The book also explores the advantages for poor scholars of belonging to a confraternal institution that provided benefits to all members regardless of social background, the areas in which women contributed to the university community, including the founding of colleges, and the growth of Marian piety, seeking her blessing as patron of scholarship and as protector of scholars. Courtenay looks at attempts to offset the inequality between the status of masters and students, rich and poor, and college founders and fellows, in observances concerned with death as well as rewards and punishments in the afterlife. Rituals for the Dead is the first book-length study of religious life and remembrances for the dead at the medieval University of Paris. Scholars of medieval history will be an eager audience for this title.

Les funérailles sont à la fin du Moyen Âge l’une des grandes cérémonies mettant en scène le pouvoir souverain. A l’image du Christ, qui triomphe de la mort par la résurrection, le prince défunt, plus humblement, triomphe de l’oubli par un faste funèbre impressionnant qui marque durablement les mémoires. La présente étude entreprend de le suivre depuis son décès jusqu’à sa dernière demeure, à travers des cérémonies religieuses, chevaleresques et politiques complexes, qui offrent de nombreuses similitudes avec le rituel royal. De multiples questions, objets de débats historiographiques, sont envisagées, comme la signification de l’effigie, simple ou double corps du prince, la place des funérailles dans les cérémonies d’inauguration ou l’intérêt porté au cœur du défunt. En restituant le prince dans sa majesté, les funérailles sont non seulement un rituel essentiel pour comprendre la spiritualité et les mentalités médiévales, mais également l’indice d’une histoire politique subtile, à l’ombre du trône royal.
