The paper retraces the negotiations undertaken by the Olivetan monks at the beginning of the 20th century for their return to the ancient abbey of San Miniato al Monte, which they had been forced to abandon in 1552 for the construction of the ramparts to defend the city. Given its location, other religious orders wanted to settle there, such as the Vallombrosans of Santa Trinita and the Cassinesi of the Florentine Abbey, but the Olivetans claimed their rights. So on 11th July 1924 the visiting abbot Benedetto Benedetti signed the deed of delivery to his regular family. The official entrance, disclosed by the town press, took place on Sunday 26 October 1924, and the resumption of the monastic life the following year, under the guidance of Don Gaetano Romagnoli, the first abbot of the restored Olivetan community.

The contribution intends to relate the biographies of the philosophers and auctores contained in the glosses to canto IV of Dante's Inferno to some possible sources consulted by Boccaccio. The study takes into account three possible competing sources: Giovanni Gallico's Compendiloquium, which Boccaccio read in the Riccardian codex 1230 - postillated by him in one place -, the Liber de vita et moribus philosophorum by pseudo-Walter Burley and the Liber de dictis philosophorum antiquorum according to Boccaccio's Laurentian Zibaldone. This text, previously considered of minor importance than the other biographical syllogies, will be given a prominent role, especially in correspondence with eight biographies in which it seems to have provided Boccaccio with ideas for the elaboration of the work.

Der Band untersucht die komplexen Beziehungen zwischen Hymnus und Gebet in Mittelalter und Früher Neuzeit. Der Fokus liegt auf den vielfältigen Adaptationen lateinischer Hymnen und Sequenzen für den Gebrauch in der volkssprachlichen Andacht. Wie verhalten sich Hymnus und Gebet gattungstypisch zueinander? Welche Formen und Funktionen nehmen volkssprachliche Bearbeitungen liturgischer Lieder in ihren jeweiligen pragmatischen Umgebungen an? Die Fallstudien, die dieser Band versammelt, loten das Spektrum des Gattungs- und Gebrauchswechsels auf dem Weg vom Hymnus zum Gebet aus. Sie analysieren Phänomene des Medienwechsels, Spezifika der Überlieferungsträger und Überlieferungskontexte sowie die poetologischen Innovationen der volkssprachlichen Übertragungen. Weitere Aspekte, auf welche die mittelhochdeutschen, mittelniederdeutschen und mittelniederländischen Quellen hin untersucht werden, betreffen das Verhältnis von Liturgie und Volkssprache, Öffentlichkeit und Privatheit, Mündlichkeit und Schriftlichkeit sowie Gesang und Lektüre. Der interdisziplinär ausgerichtete Sammelband richtet sich nicht nur an die mediävistische Germanistik, sondern auch an die Liturgie-, Musik- und Kunstwissenschaft.

Spiritual Shakespeares is the first book to explore the scope for reading Shakespeare spiritually in the light of contemporary theory and current world events. Ewan Fernie has brought together an exciting cast of critics in order to respond to the 'religious turn' in recent literary theory and to the spiritualized politics of terrorism and the 'War on Terror'. Exploring a genuinely new perspective within Shakespeare Studies, the volume suggests that experiencing the spiritual intensities of the plays could lead us back to dramatic intensity as such. It tests spirituality from a political perspective, as well as subjecting politics to an unusual spiritual critique. Amongst its controversial and provocative arguments is the idea that a consideration of spirituality might point the way forward for materialist criticism. Reaching across and beyond literary studies to offer challenging and powerful contributions from leading scholars, this book offers unique readings of some very familiar plays.

This volume sets out to explore the world of domestic devotions and is premised on the assumption that the home was a central space of religious practice and experience throughout the early modern world. The contributions to this book, which deal with themes dating from the fifteenth to the eighteenth century, tell of the intimate relationship between humans and the sacred within the walls of the home. The volume demonstrates that the home cannot be studied in isolation: the seventeen essays, that encompass religious history, the histories of art and architecture, material culture, literary history, and social and cultural history, instead point individually and collectively to the porosity of the home and its connectedness with other institutions and broader communities.

What role does religion play at the end of life in Japan? Spiritual Ends draws on ethnographic fieldwork and interviews with hospice patients, chaplains, and medical workers to provide an intimate portrayal of how spiritual care is provided to the dying in Japan. Timothy O. Benedict uses both local and cross-cultural perspectives to show how global conversations on concepts like spirituality and the practice of spiritual care are being appropriated and reinterpreted in Japanese contexts. Benedict relates these findings to a longer story of how Japanese religious groups have pursued vocational roles in medical institutions as a means to demonstrate a so-called "healthy" role in society. By paying attention to how care for the kokoro (heart or mind) is key to the practice of spiritual care, this book enriches conventional understandings of religious identity in Japan, while offering a valuable East Asian perspective to global conversations on the ways religion, spirituality, and medicine intersect at death.
