The Enlightenment, considered an age of rationalism, is not normally associated with miracles. In this intriguing book, however, Jane Shaw presents accounts of inscrutable miracles that occurred to ordinary worshippers in early modern England. She considers the reactions of intellectuals, scientists, and physicians to these miraculous events and through them explores the relations between popular and elite culture of the time. Miraculous events in England between the 1650s and the 1750s were experienced mainly not by Catholics, but by Protestants. The book looks at the political and social context of these events as well as interpretations and explanations of them by scientists, the Court and the Church, as well as by preachers, pamphleteers, friends, and neighbors. Shaw links the lived religion of the time to intellectual history and amends the hitherto received view. The religious practice of ordinary people was as crucial to the development of Enlightenment thought as the philosophical and theological writings of the elite.

An investigation into the connections between the York Plays, religious observance, and the role played by the city itself. WINNER of the 2007 David Bevington Prize. The York Play is the earliest near-complete English civic mystery cycle. It evolved constantly throughout its long performance history, but the text that was recorded in the York Register shows that it was already a mature and elaborate civic festival by the time it was written down. This study uncovers the Cycle's connection with worship in York, in the sense both of devotional practice and of civic honour, informing a particular period in the cultural history of the city. The pageants in the Register show in their different ways how the community which devised and performed the Cycle regarded the celebration of the great summer feast of Corpus Christi. Moreover the principles of selection that give the Cycle its structure reflect the broader pattern of the liturgical calendar, with its other feasts and fasts. The Cycle bears witness not only to the practices of religious observance in York, but also to the ecclesiastical politics in which the city was caught up from the very beginning of the fifteenth century. PAMELA KING is Professor of Medieval Studies at the University of Bristol.

Le recueil des Miracles de saint Étienne (BHL 7860-7861), annexé le plus souvent aux manuscrits des œuvres de saint Augustin, est un petit ouvrage écrit vers 425 à la demande de l’évêque Evodius, ami et correspondant d’Augustin, par un clerc d’Uzalis, petite cité proconsulaire qu’on a pu situer définitivement au nord de Carthage, près de Bizerte. Il relate en deux livres au ton assez différent les miracles opérés par des reliques du protomartyr à leur arrivée dans la ville. Il s’agit là d’un document exceptionnel : d’une part, il contient déjà en germe toutes les caractéristiques du genre hagiographique du libellus miraculorum, promis à un immense développement au moyen âge, et d’autre part, il présente une théologie du miracle assez différente de celle d’Augustin et révèle l’état d’esprit des clercs dans une communauté chrétienne d’Afrique contemporaine de l’évêque d’Hippone. Il donne aussi de précieux renseignements sur la vie et le langage des couches modestes de la population dans une petite cité africaine, et sur certains aspects de la société aristocratique de Carthage à la veille de l’invasion vandale. Ce livre, qui comprend une édition critique du texte, fondée sur la collation de 21 manuscrits et accompagnée d’une traduction commentée, propose aussi une série d’études particulières, qui visent à replacer l’oeuvre dans son contexte historique, théologique, littéraire et linguistique. Il voudrait ainsi montrer tout l’intérêt que présente le De miraculis pour l’histoire des mentalités et pour l’histoire sociale de l’Afrique tardive et contribuer aussi à éclairer le rôle qu’ont tenu les miracula post mortem dans la théologie du miracle, dans la diffusion du culte des saints et dans la formation des genres hagiographiques.
