Abstract

This collection brings together two flourishing areas of medieval scholarship: gender and religion. It examines gender-specific religious practices and contends that the pursuit of holiness can destabilise binary gender itself. Though saints may be classified as masculine or feminine, holiness may also cut across gender divisions and demand a break from normally gendered behaviour. This work of interdisciplinary cultural history includes contributions from historians, art historians and literary critics and will be of interest not only to medievalists, but also to students of religion and gend

Abstract

Renaissance Florence has often been described as the birthplace of modern individualism, as reflected in the individual genius of its great artists, scholars, and statesmen. The historical research of recent decades has instead shown that Florentines during the Renaissance remained enmeshed in relationships of family, neighborhood, guild, patronage, and religion that, from a twenty-first-century perspective, greatly limited the scope of individual thought and action. The sixteen essays in this volume expand the groundbreaking work of Gene Brucker, the historian in recent decades who has been most responsible for the discovery and exploration of these pre-modern qualities of the Florentine Renaissance. Exploring new approaches to the social world of Florentines during this fascinating era, the essays are arranged in three groups. The first deals with the exceptionally resilient and homogenous Florentine merchant elite, the true protagonist of much of Florentine history. The second considers Florentine religion and Florence's turbulent relations with the Church. The last group of essays looks at criminals, expatriates, and other outsiders to Florentine society.

Abstract

Heiligen en zaligen: overal kom je ze tegen. Ze prijken op huisgevels en staan op glasramen, kapitelen, schilderijen en altaarstukken van kapelletjes en kerken. Ze beschermen steden, hospitalen en scholen. Ze verdwalen op de rommelmarkt en worden gekoesterd in musea en antiekzaken. Maar wie is wie? En waarom heeft de ene een rad en de andere een spade bij zich? Waarom houdt de ene een brandend hart vast en de andere een schaal met ogen? Dit boek maakt een waardevol kunstpatrimonium toegankelijk. Via opvallende attributen vindt de geïnteresseerde kijker snel de weg naar meer dan vijfhonderd in Europa vereerde heiligen en zaligen. Van elke heilige is een korte biografie én een afbeelding opgenomen. De auteurs verklaren telkens de betekenis en de herkomst van de attributen. Nieuw en uniek is de alfabetische indeling op attribuut, zodat de heilige snel geïdentificeerd kan worden. JO CLAES, ALFONS CLAES EN KATHY VINCKE stelden dit eerste praktische standaardwerk samen voor toeristen, wandelaars, museumbezoekers, gidsen, antiekminnaars, restaurateurs en al wie geïnteresseerd is in volksdevotie of religieuze kunst. Een onmisbare gids om een verloren stukje Europees erfgoed opnieuw te ontdekken en te begrijpen.

Abstract

María de San José Salazar (1548-1603) took the veil as a Discalced ("barefoot") Carmelite nun in 1571, becoming one of Teresa of Avila's most important collaborators in religious reform and serving as prioress of the Seville and Lisbon convents. Within the parameters of the strict Catholic Reformation in Spain, María fiercely defended women's rights to define their own spiritual experience and to teach, inspire, and lead other women in reforming their church. María wrote this book as a defense of the Discalced practice of setting aside two hours each day for conversation, music, and staging of religious plays. Casting the book in the form of a dialogue, María demonstrates through fictional conversations among a group of nuns during their hours of recreation how women could serve as very effective spiritual teachers for each other. The book includes one of the first biographical portraits of Teresa and Maria's personal account of the troubled founding of the Discalced convent at Seville, as well as her tribulations as an Inquisitional suspect. Rich in allusions to women's affective relationships in the early modern convent, Book for the Hour of Recreation also serves as an example of how a woman might write when relatively free of clerical censorship and expectations. A detailed introduction and notes by Alison Weber provide historical and biographical context for Amanda Powell's fluid translation.

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.
